Discovery Place was kind enough to provide me tickets for 2 of my readers to Discovery Place KIDS. What exactly is this exhibition about? Below is some information that was sent to me:



Discovery Place KIDS

Exploring the theme of "I CAN", Discovery Place KIDS is a museum that appeals to children under 8 and features developmentally appropriate experiences that encourage imagination as well as offer the opportunity to build confidence and test skills by trying new things.  The exhibits, themed around a small town, allow children to learn through play.  In addition to the exhibits, live programming includes story time, a visual art studio and puppet shows. Workshops for tots, summer camps and parties are also available. The 23,000 square foot Museum is the third member of the Discovery Place, Inc. family alongside Discovery Place, the science center in uptown Charlotte, and Charlotte Nature Museum, located next to Freedom Park.  Discovery Place KIDS operating hours are Tuesday – Friday 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.; Saturday 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., Sunday noon – 5:00 p.m.; Monday closed.  http://www.discoveryplacekids.org/

Discovery Place KIDS includes nine main exhibit areas:
I CAN Move -- Experiment with movement in the air, on the land and in the water.  Navigate a lake, drive a race car and tinker with cars in an auto shop.
I CAN Create -- Create a masterpiece in the visual arts studio or display creative flair on the Town Hall Theatre stage and in the Puppet Theatre.
I CAN Be Healthy -- Discover how to be healthy by role-playing in a grocery store, a doctor's office, a fitness center, a cafe and by visiting a farm.
I CAN Work -- Imagine what it would be like to be a firefighter, banker, veterinarian or other community helper.
I CAN Explore Underwater -- Explore an underwater world, captain a ship and drive a submarine.
I CAN Build -- Become part of a construction crew, move bricks in the Brick Factory using cranes and conveyor belts, and design and construct a building.
I CAN Grow -- A special play space just for children from birth to 36 months. 
The Town Center – The main Museum hub, the Club House and Town Hall complete with Stage and Puppet Theatre
The Learning Garden – Experience the wonders of outside while playing in the outdoor Learning Garden with areas devoted to nature art, sound, container gardens, digging and building.

The I can build sounds most interesting. My little one loves to put stuff together and take it apart.

I like Barb and Discovery Place also!

I am most excited about the I Can Be Healthy exhibit. I am desperate to have my kids eat better and I'm up for anything that can pique their interest.

I can MOVE interests me the most. I have 2 boys so anything dealing w/ bodies of water like lakes or anything with wheels like race cars or trains....they will be hooked and take interest in. Always wanted to go to Discovery Place but never have been. Kind of pricey to take my whole family so this would be a great opportunity!! :)
