Step into a world of wonder and exploration where the lights are dimmed, the sounds are minimal, and distracting motions are nowhere to be found, allowing for an immersive experience tailored to your needs. Navigate with ease as extra signage guides your path, indicating areas to avoid climbing and entrances between exhibits where it's best to pause and await adult guidance. Join us for a magical journey where every moment is filled with excitement, discovery, and boundless possibilities!

‍

‍

• Less crowded environment
