From conveyer belts and cranes to air chutes and grocery stores, young visitors, infants through age five, will work, create, play, and learn as they experience the wonders of the every day working world within this exhibition. Throughout it, tips and strategies are offered on parent-child interaction to encourage children's learning.

All the thematic areas within KID CITY focus on specific areas of learning:

Grocery Store

Children learn basic math concepts. They can weigh, sort, match, compare, count and sell "fruit" and "vegetables" of various shapes, colors and sizes.

Factory

Children can explore the physics of movement and cause and effect. They can climb though the four levels of the Factory Climbing Structure and begin working by fitting various shaped blocks through corresponding holes.

Also included in the exhibition are four Young Explorer Computers. Children can visit five areas on the computers. For example, Millie's Math House allows them to build a bug by clicking on pictures of ears, eyes, noses, etc., and then clicking on the number they want the bug to have.

Or, in Sammie's Science House, children can select the weather for the day. Choose "cold" by clicking on the thermometer for the temperature, or make it windy, rainy or sunny. When completed, the weather elements are put together into a little story so the child can see the day they created.

The exhibition also features a Funhouse Mirror that distorts the viewer's legs and feet, a Book Nook with a collection of young children's books and cozy benches and rugs and the Magnetic Wall where children can spell their name or create words with magnetic letters and numbers that "stick" to the wall. Visitors can also make structures out of big foam colorful blocks.
