The Liberty Science Center is a great place to spend the day with your children, and with its constantly changing exhibits, it is always worth the visit. It is located on the Hudson near the statue of Liberty st Liberty State Park.
One of their newest exhibits stars Nickelodeon’s famous Dora and Diego, as well as a whole plethora of their friends. The exhibit is called Dora and Diego- Let’s Explore and is geared toward fans of the hit shows Dora the Explorer and Go, Diego, Go!
In the exhibit, kids will explore various settings from the show including the purple planet, Isa’s Flowery Garden and Tico’s Tree and Car. Each is a fun place to explore, teaching kids using hands on methods about a topics from the constellations to plants and animals. Many topics are touched upon and will get your little ones asking questions, a bit more curious about the world around them. There is even an opportunity for your little ones to board a rocket ship and dress up as astronauts, pilot the ship, and test their memory. For the buccaneers in your crew, there is even a pirate ship manned (or rather pigged) by the Pirate Piggies crew. Kids can to dress as pirates, dig through treasure, and share the coins among the piggies’ banks.
Of the exhibits, one of the biggest is the Rainforest Maze, which lets kids explore the rainforest looking for animals while swinging across the Bobo Brothers’ monkey bars, crawling through a fallen tree, climbing across Jaguar Mountain and jumping across the River Rocks.
The Dora and Diego – Let’s Explore exhibit is open now through January 24, 2016 at Liberty Science Center and is presented by the WellPoint Foundation and Bank of America. Liberty Science Center is a great way to spend a day during the Winter break to keep your kids active and learning for hours on end.
