Come explore a world of farm-to-table fun, where fresh produce and hands-on learning is always in season. The Farmers Market exhibit has a food truck (serving slices from Pizzeria Pie), three happy hens, a smoothie station, and plenty of fresh produce for sale.
The Farmers Market provides young learners with an immersive experience that teaches them about healthy eating habits and the farm-to-table process. Much like the grocery store exhibit, kids will have the opportunity to develop their math skills as they calculate the cost of produce they’re buying and use money to purchase items.
The Farmers Market is also a great place to introduce important concepts around the origins of the food we eat. By interacting with produce that is “locally grown” in our Imaginacres farm exhibit and the City Orchard exhibit, children can learn more about the process of growing and harvesting fresh produce and learn where the food on their plates comes from.
