Food & Family

In this 3,650 square foot exhibit presented by GIANT — double the size of the original Market — children will learn about the journey of food from source to gathering place and its importance in cultures, communities, and traditions. Kids can explore an immersive, open-ended learning landscape with three interconnected zones: a shopping market, a hybrid home and industrial kitchen, and a neighborhood festival area. Opportunities for imaginative role-playing include:

• Shop for dinner at the supermarket
• Restock shelves and ring up groceries for customers
• Cook a pizza in our wood-fire pizza oven
• Explore spices, cheeses, and tea from around the world
• Grill up some burgers for a block party
• Decorate a birthday cake
• …and more!
