Out On A Limb

September 19, 2009 – January 24, 2010

Climb into a treehouse, build a fort, play with light! This imaginative environment is designed to inspire children and their caregivers to learn to explore nature by using their senses.

The whimsical atmosphere of Out on a Limb is created in part by children’s nature-themed artwork that makes up the faux bark and leaf canopy of the centerpiece tree. The individual exhibits, Whirlwind, Light Play, Forest Jam and Gnome Home, further enhance the magical scenery and are tools to enhance exploration.

Trash Bash

October 3  – November 29, 2009

Trash Bash, a new exhibit created by Minnesota Children's Museum, will encourage visitors to increase their knowledge, skills, attitudes, motivation and commitment toward sustaining a healthy environment. Children will use recycled and reused materials to create art, music and imaginative play activities.

The exhibit will also feature Trash Mountain, an interactive exhibit that includes a collection of trash from one family of four for one year, a Tot Spot, an art studio with recycled materials, an interactive music instrument and more. Trash Bash will close on November 29, 2009.
