Goblin Jamboree

Children and families can explore hands-on activities, art-inspired play, and themed spaces across the museum. Little ones can mix nature's ingredients into fizzing brews in Goblin Village, dig for creepy crawlers in glowing play dirt, and design their own creatures at Build a Beast. Guests can also wander through giant spiderwebs at Spider Spinners, learn about live bugs with the Beetlelady, and explore a toddler-friendly farmstand in Harvest Hall.
