As shared by Mr. Rogers so astutely many years ago, “For children, play is exceedingly serious... and important! In fact, play is a way for children to learn who they are, how the world works, solve problems, and to express feelings. Yes, play is the real work of childhood, and for young people today, many children’s museums offer play experiences that other settings are not able to give them.” With interactive insights on: fishing, air, s.t.e.a.m labs, grocery markets, banking, veterinarian services, and so much more be sure to share this treasure with friends and guests alike coming to the Treasure Coast.
