Plans
The Outdoor Experience, a year-round museum without a roof, is expected to open in spring 2014.
The entrance will have pinwheel generators and solar panel canopy breezeways that create energy for fans, teaching about sustainable living.
Gardens will highlight the sights and smells of the plant world, and provide examples of the relationship between the plant and animal kingdoms. A vegetable garden will allow families to partake in maintaining a working garden. These components are meant to educate visitors about the origins of food and healthy eating habits.
There will also be supervised play areas, including spaces for children to design and construct forts, engage in imaginative fantasy play, and learn about aquatic environments and water-powered energy sources.
A large, open amphitheater will offer a place for children to create and watch theatrical productions and special performances.
