Pretend City Children's Museum
Pretend City Children’s Museum is “the world in a nutshell.” It is designed for children to learn how the real world works. The museum is a child-size interconnected city built with rich educational intentions, where children can assume various real-world roles. Through interactive exhibits and activities facilitated by highly trained professional staff, children learn foundational math, reading, and science skills while fostering curiosity, creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork. The Museum is a nut-free facility.
Exhibits and Activities
With over 17 interactive exhibits, your little ones will have a blast role-playing as doctors, chefs, construction workers, and more. They can:
- Shop at a mini grocery store and learn about healthy eating habits
- Fix cars in a pretend garage and learn about mechanics
- Run their own restaurant and learn about teamwork and customer service
- Visit the fire station and police station and become heroes for a day
- Relax and read a story in the cozy reading nook
- Create some art in the studio and develop their creativity
But Pretend City isn't just about playing pretend. It's also about learning important life skills and concepts, like math, science, and teamwork. Every exhibit is designed to help kids develop important skills and understanding in a fun and engaging way.
