Curious George

Explore life in the city, on the farm, and in space with Curious George and his friends! Just like Curious George, children are incredibly curious – and curiosity fuels discovery. This engaging exhibit introduces children to key concepts in science, math and engineering in a way that is fun for kids and accessible to parents, caregivers and educators.
