The Strong museum in downtown Rochester offers spaces designed for crawlers and first-steppers throughout its 100,000-square-foot exhibit space. This highly interactive, museum is devoted to the exploration of play.
In the Field of Play exhibit, guests will find an enclosed sea-themed area with soft blocks, simple ramps with balls, plush toys, and touch-and-feel areas along the walls.
The Wegmans Super Kids Market includes a fenced-off organic farm complete with a crawl space for picking carrots. The farm, which teaches children about the importance of healthy eating, also includes areas to sort, count, and weigh fruits, vegetables, and eggs.
A padded and carpeted section of the museum’s Kid to Kid exhibit provides a crawl area with age-appropriate toys designed to help with motor skills.
In the Reading Adventureland exhibit, guests will find a fairy-tale themed area where crawlers can pull and plant vegetables in Peter Rabbit’s garden.
Many of the spaces suggest a maximum height to ensure that they’re safe for the smallest guests to learn and explore.
