New Attraction Near Completion

The new attraction in the Children's Discovery Area is nearly finished and will be open to the public soon. This will be a great addition to this area and children will be able to reenact what it was like to live in this time. We will post when this area is once again open to the public and we encourage you to bring your little ones to explore this exciting new feature! (general admission rates apply) We are still encouraging guess as to what this actually is....
