The Farm and Market Discovery Zone is an interactive exhibit designed to engage young minds and educate families about the fascinating world of food production. This hands-on experience allows children to explore the origins of their favorite foods and learn about the importance of agriculture and supporting local farmers.
As children step into the Discovery Zone, they are immediately immersed in a vibrant and engaging environment. The mini market is stocked with fresh produce, allowing children to shop just like in a real market. They can choose their favorite fruits and vegetables, fill their shopping baskets, and even pretend to pay at the cash register.
The fully equipped play kitchen is another highlight of the Discovery Zone. Children can use the stove, oven, cabinets, sink, pizza oven, and other kitchen essentials to prepare their own delicious meals. This interactive space encourages creativity, imagination, and a deeper understanding of the culinary process.
The Farm and Market Discovery Zone is more than just an exhibit; it's an opportunity for families to spend quality time together while learning something new. By exploring this interactive space, children can develop a greater appreciation for the hard work and dedication of farmers and food producers.
Join us at the Farm and Market Discovery Zone and discover the wonders of local food production!
