Great Explorations Children's Museum Unveils New Exhibit, "Tiny Explorers Lagoon.”
St. Petersburg, FL – Great Explorations Children's Museum is excited to announce the opening of its new exhibit, "Tiny Explorers Lagoon.” This exhibit offers an immersive lagoon experience for children ages 1-3, providing a safe and engaging space for young children to explore, learn, and play.
Tiny Explorers Lagoon offers an array of engaging interactive features, such as lily pads and cattails, a bridge, a canoe, a farm-themed activity wall, and more.
