Sweltering experience of Rainforest Adventure next up at Flint Hills Discovery Center An exhibit that has been called the best children’s exhibit of the year – Rainforest Adventure -- is headed to Manhattan and Flint Hills Discovery Center. First, visitors have just one more week to enjoy Duty First, and the enrapturing stories of five soldiers who have served the country in the Big Red One. The BRO exhibit will march away on Jan. 14, so this is your last chance to salute this exhibit devoted to 1st Infantry Division’s extraordinary service. Rainforest Adventure, with all the sights and sounds of a tropical setting, descends on the discovery center second floor exhibit area with four layers of rainforest. Mixed into the rainforest are tons of interaction for school children, as
rainforest exhibits crawl with plant-animal biodiversity to simulate one of the world’s richest habitation treasures … the world’s endangered rain forests. Be amazed, bedazzled and bewildered, all in one trip to Flint Hills Discovery Center. Learn more about the rarity of prairie grasslands, and then also vanishing forested, covered regions south of the equator. On the heels of an exciting Duty First exhibit, Rainforest Adventure at Flint Hills Discovery Center opens Jan. 24 and continues through April. Celebrate the new year with fun events at the Flint Hills Discovery Center.
