THE FAMILY INTERACTIVE GALLERY (FIG) is a must-do family attraction.  Unlike typical children's museums, which tend to focus on role-playing for children under the age of 8, the purpose of the FIG is to provide a space where people of ALL ages and abilities can learn about art, nature, and history through creative expression, interactive play, and visual cues.  

WHAT'S HAPPENING AT THE FIG         

Three new and improved activity stations are now open at the FIG!

The Elements Discovery Zone is designed for individuals 6 and over to explore the world of science, technology, engineering, math, art and nature.  The new station contains a new ball drop zone, magnetic experiments, microscopes, kinetics and much more!

The FIG Forest is an updated version of the previous camping area.  Located in a new space, the FIG Forest contains a new tent, a bear cave, a river, and nature exploration. 

The FIG Stage has been retrofitted with rotating backdrops with themed capes and masks for the aspiring actors and actresses.
