It is no surprise that these exhibits would be widely popular with families.  The exhibit includes fun and educational opportunities for children to explore.     There are areas for the children to engage in interactive learning and play.  Children can explore the rainforest and swing across monkey bars.    You can play in several different themed areas based on character and locations on the “Dora the Explorer” and “Go! Diego Go!” television programs:  Tico’s Nutty Forest, Isa’s Flowery Gardens, Purple Planet, Rainforest Maze, and The Pirate Piggies’ Ship.
