Through January: Smokey the Bear & Woodsy Owl Home Sweet Home
If you haven’t had a chance to experience this interactive nature exhibit yet, now is the time! We’re bringing the outdoors in with this engaging woodland exhibit created by Betty Brinn Children’s Museum in collaboration with the United States Forest Service. Visitors will get to travel from the city to the forest as they plant pretend trees, guide a raindrop through the water cycle, build a campfire, go on a nature hike and fishing trip, and run a ranger station. This exhibit is a great place for scouts to practice the outdoor skills that they learn in their den meetings.
Hurry, this exhibit will be leaving cMoe after January 29, 2012 so book your visit today!
Call 812-464-2663, ext. 230 to inquire about currently scheduled workshops.
