👀 Who wants a sneak peek inside the Children’s Museum of New Bern?!🙋♀️
I was lucky enough to take a tour now that some of the exhibits have started being installed, and let me tell you- I am SO excited for all there is going to be for kids to see, do, explore, and learn here!
Some of the spaces are already starting to come to life! In the pictures, you’ll get a peek at:
🚓 Police station
👨🚒 Fire station
🩺 Doctor’s office
🐾 Vet clinic
🚢 Boat
🏠 Playhouse
🏕️ Camping exhibit
🚧 Building & construction area
But here’s the crazy part- what you see completed in these pictures isn’t even close to everything that’s coming!
Some of the rooms may look a little empty right now, but just wait. 👀 There are plans for:
🌱 Gardening exhibit
🛒Grocery Store exhibit
🔬 STEM room - including a wind tunnel, light table, magnet wall & more
🚀 Space exhibit
🦖 Dinosaur exhibit - complete with fossil digging, volcanoes & more
🇺🇸 Military section
🎭 Dance & dress-up stage
💦 Water exhibit - I can't wait for this one!
🎈 Birthday party space
➕ And MORE!
But one of my absolute favorite things about this museum isn’t something you can necessarily see in the pictures.❤️ Accessibility is being built into the museum from the start. Every single exhibit is being designed to be wheelchair accessible, even the changing area. I just love knowing how much thought is being put into making sure all families feel welcomed, accommodated, and included.
So the question is... which exhibit do you think your kids are going to make a beeline for first?! 😅🤗
