River Adventures

Nature – Water Play – Music

Science, nature and weather combine to create River Adventures! Children can explore the man-made and natural activities that take place along a river – play with water currents, bubbles and rainbows, build and race boats and steer them safely into harbor. Discover animals nestled among high grass and a lily pond in Nature’s Pond (toddler area) and create your own dramatic play in Storyland Cottage, a small rustic cottage, inspired by "Goldilocks and the Three Bears." In Rainforest Rhythm, children can play music on nature-inspired instruments and explore music from around the world in a tree house setting.
