Children's Museum of the Highlands

ONE WORLD DINER

This enchanting environment allows visitors of all ages to pretend to cook serve and eat a variety of ethnic foods from all around the world. Wearing traditional costumes from the different areas, participants can serve falafel, tacos, pizza and more all in a realistic diner setting.

MINI GROCERY STORE

Choosing foods and filling a cart may not be fun to adults, but children love the opportunity to make their own decisions and even ring up their purchases on real cash registers with working conveyor belt systems. Of course there is museum money to play with and use for shopping and even making a deposit at the nearby mini bank.

WATERWORKS

Water play is fun and only a little damp in this area. Visitors can play with a running river, using dams to float boats and ducks. At one end, use the water shooters to make mobiles move and twirl. Aprons are provided to help keep you dry. What kind of waterpower can you harness?

THE ROCK WALL

Boulder climbing is a harder version of traditional rock climbing. Use our rock wall and try to climb 16' sideways without ever touching the ground. You don't need to go up - just sideways - it's harder than it looks!

MUSIC MANIA

Play the piano and other percussion instruments. Even try your hand at playing an instrument called an Amadinda. This instrument is modeled after one of the chief musical instruments of the Baganda tribe in Southern Uganda. "Ama" means big, "dinda" means keys; the original instrument was made out of 12 logs laid out on fresh banana stems.
