Field trip: Learning Through Play

KidSenses Museum offers stimulating exhibits that fire the imagination. Children can pretend they are chefs at its Pueblito restaurant, report the weather at WFUN-STUDIO, explore the Word Forest and climb inside a giant kaleidoscope. The museum’s full name is KidSenses Children’s InterACTIVE Museum, located in downtown Rutherfordton. It holds special workshops for hands-on learning in science, art, health, literacy and more. There are also outreach programs, including a portable planetarium, available for your school, camp and church. (828) 286-2120 or www.kidsenses.com
