Kids can find plenty of hands-on nature exhibits here, including a greenhouse filled with exotic and domestic butterflies, a bungalow with eco-friendly building tips, a play area where kids can maneuver boats along a river and build dams, and a new exhibit that shows how food gets from farms to kids’ lunch boxes. Families can also stroll on the museum’s rooftop and explore native landscaping.
