Coming the end of May to Discovery Zone- "Run! Jump! Fly! Adventures in Action!"
The exhibit invites visitors to step into scenes straight out of action-adventure stories and jump into action star training--- playful activities that kids can do in and around home to build strength, coordination, balance and endurance. “Run! Jump! Fly Adventures in Action” encourages visitors to try out activities that may be new to them while also revisiting familiar activities in new ways. Cultural spotlights and real-life examples of young people who are passionate about activities further encourage visitors to get into action. As visitors move through the exhibit having fun with physical activity, they gain ideas for how they can become more active in everyday life. By creating an immersive environment in which kids and adults can merge their imagination with real physical activity, “Run! Jump! Fly Adventures in Action” demonstrates how physical activity can be fun.
“Run! Jump! Fly! Adventures in Action” features four adventure scenes. In Surf/Snow choose one of the four balance boards and see how long you can stay on for the ride. Can you make it down a snowy slope, through the air, into the ocean and onto shore without losing your balance? Test your strength by using hand and footholds to make your way across a horizontal climbing wall in the Climbing Canyon. Develop coordination with three different animal stances and then combine them into a flow of action in Kung Fu Forest. Test your endurance by riding a bicycle with wings for two minutes and seeing how far you can go in Flycycle Sky.
Proceed to Action Star Training in which six activity areas will be featured where visitors can also try the highlighted physical challenges. In the Yoga Station balance on one foot or stretch into the cat/cow bridge and dog poses. Build your upper and lower body strength by lifting, pressing, pulling and holding in the Strength Center. In the Monkey Bars lift, hold and pull your own weight. Test your lower-body strength in the Leg Press. By pulling levers that lift and lower the seat, visitors use their upper-body strength in the Self-Weighted Rower. From a seated wheelchair or standing position, visitors can build upper body strength through the Adaptive Chin-Up Bar.
Just for toddlers, the Toddler Pyramid offers the youngest visitors a separate place to experiment with physical activity away from the thick of the action. Toddlers can climb the pyramid steps or pull themselves up the climbing net. Once they are on top, they can slide down.
CURIOUS KIDS IS ESPECIALLY GRATEFUL TO THE FREDERICK S. UPTON FOUNDATION FOR SPONSORING THIS UNIQUE, GLOBAL EXHIBIT IN COOPERATION WITH THE BERRIEN COMMUNITY FOUNDATION AND THE FRANK JR. WARD TRUST. YOUR COMMITMENT TO MEMORABLE EDUCATIONAL LEARNING IS OUTSTANDING.

If you’re looking for fun – you’ll definitely find it here – giggling, hopping, splashing, wiggling,
st-r-r-e-e-t-ching, swirling, squeezing your way through an amazing world of science, history, technology and culture made for toddlers to teens. You’ll use every one of your senses as you interact with more than 100 imagination-sparking exhibits! And all this play-filled learning happens not in just one place, but TWO, in fun-loving St. Joseph, Michigan!
1. Explore wonders along the bluff
Curious Kids’ Museum is downtown along the bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. There are two floors chock-full of ways to learn every minute from plucking apples off a tree to becoming an “atom” crawling and sliding through a nuclear power plant. You’ll also have a blast exploring at our special programs, workshops and camps!
2. Discover even more fun down by the beach
Curious Kids' Discovery Zone is our annex in the Silver Beach Center (a short walk down the hill from The Museum) that brims with even more hands-on activities. Come play in the Lake Michigan Water Table, Wave Table and Water Power Tower! Can you walk on water? Climb the new Lighthouse Tower! Dance in the virtual reality game. Take the Kids' Climbing Wall challenge and get across in one try! See what's new in the Gast Traveling Exhibit Gallery and much more.
This is one kid-friendly town!
You’ll find there’s even more to do at nearby Silver Beach and the great Whirlpool Compass Fountain across the street. Stroll along the bluff’s History Trail and shop downtown. See if there’s a dance in the Shadowland Ballroom. Ride the beautiful Silver Beach Carousel or watch a sunset over Lake Michigan. And extend your fun with delicious food from our restaurants and memorable overnight stays at our nearby hotels.
We’re ready to play! Are you?
Curious Kids' Musem and Discovery Zone are always looking for great volunteers! If you would like to volunteer a few hours a week or a few hours a month, please call the Museum at 269-983-2543 and ask for the Volunteer Director. |
