Kids really take to practically every corner of this multi-media, fairly high tech, 56,500-square-foot facility, starting with the “pretend professions” areas where they can try out jobs in a construction zone or learn about what it’s like to be a veterinarian. Even as an adult, I have to say I was tempted to participate in some kids-only activities and exhibitions, such as the miniature Bank of America and Publix Supermarket. There’s also a re-creation of a Carnival cruise ship and a multi-sensory room for children with autism and disabilities. Perhaps the coolest thing of all is the Music Makers Studio, in which aspiring rock stars can lay down a few tracks and play instruments. The Children’s Museum is located on the MacArthur Causeway, across from Jungle Island (see above). Along with 17 galleries, it has a Kid Smart educational gift shop, a 200-seat auditorium, a Subway restaurant, and an outdoor, interactive play area.
