Exhibits / The Building Buddies

The Building Buddies portraits a small community where everyone is busy making their homes a better place. Different characters, “buddies”, invite young children to play, explore, collaborate, create and learn while improving the “neighbourhood”.

The goal of this exhibit is to provide a discovery environment that encourages the development of science and process skills at an early age. To achieve this, the exhibit offers hands-on open-ended activities that are fun and engaging for kids and their parents.

The immersive exhibition composed of 7 core areas features hands-on role-play learning experiences that encourage kids to plan, renovate, decorate, paint, tile, build and more!
