Some of the activities offered within Busytown include counting, sorting weighing, and building. There are time clocks, railroad tracks, conveyor belts, tunnels, a cargo ship, funnel phones, carts and more . Air hoses can be used to activate pinwheels and other air-powered objects.
Workers can create their own structures using a variety of blocks and building materials.
