This new museum, where two Wheaton alumnae, Janis Robinson Daly '84 and Roma Fanton Hoyt '84, have volunteered their time and expertise, offers many interactive displays and creative activities for children and families. Hands-on exhibits let children explore such things as weather, music, puppetry, Native American culture and a doctor's office. Be sure to check out the train platform and Piper Tomahawk airplane climbing structure. The museum is geared for children between the ages of 2 and 10. Go to the 3rd set of lights and take a right onto West Street.
