Exhibits and Programs

EXHIBITS

Amazing Airways

Krispy Kreme Doughnut Factory

Amazing Library

The Prop Shop

Visitors make predictions and test their hypotheses as they turn knobs to change airflow and send scarves zipping through the tubes of Amazing Airways. See if you can catch the scarves flying through the air!

Filled with child-sized tables and comfortable seating, we encourage you to take a break during your Museum visit to enjoy a book. Staff-led storytimes are a regular feature of this area. Look for the crayon wall mural depicting schools, local landmarks, and storybook characters.

Climbing Lobby

Kids love to scramble and crawl over the wavy platforms of the Luckey Climber. After exploring the first floor, the climbing adventures continue as kids scale the Beanstalk Climber, leaf by leaf, to the second floor.

The Enchanted Forest

A forest village of folklore, fantasy, and fairy tales. This exhibit gallery contains more than a dozen imaginative play stations including the Three Billy Goats Gruff’s bridge, Forest Babies Nursery, the Three Bears Cabin, and a row boat!

Food Lion Supermarket

Stop by our very own grocery store to shop for fresh (felt) fruits and veggies, try out our oven, make an ice cream cone, and practice counting at the cash registers.

Kaleidoscape

Kaleideum Downtown is the first location in the United States to host a crocheted wonder from renowned artist Toshiko Horiuchi MacAdam. Vibrant colors and rich textures engage children and inspire them to climb, swing, and experience this innovative exhibit.

This child-sized factory encourages visitors to enjoy cooperative play and discovery as they send “doughnuts” through the conveyor belt system, collect them in boxes, and take them to the delivery truck.

The Prop Shop features a 1,000-square-foot space set in the “backstage” of a theatre where you can create, invent, tinker, explore, and discover. Using real tools and materials, you can design and create your own puppets, costumes, set pieces, and props. The space also includes a theatre-themed toddler area with a small slide and interactives that offer developmentally appropriate experimentation and opportunities for dramatic play.

CHANGING EXHIBITS Summer/Fall 2018

Travel back in time to Toy Time when there were no cell phones or video games, and batteries were never included!

Engage and delight in tumbling, sliding, rocking, spinning, dancing, and flying folk toys that demonstrate the effects of gravity, inertia, rhythm, harmonic motion, and mechanics.

Winter/Spring 2019

Green is an exhibit rich in texture with wide open space to encourage free play and movement. Children can swing, climb, tumble, and jump.

Loose parts – changing with the season – encourage new interactions among visitors. Children can send fabric leaves through Airways in fall, toss “snowballs” in winter, mow the grass in spring, and build forts in summer.
