Step into all that is Northern Minnesota, fishing, boating, camping, and exploring. This zone has it all for the nature lovers out there.

Performing Stage and instruments

Maybe your student will be the next Judy Garland!? Pick a costume and instrument to perform on our stage. Belt out songs or scenes from your favorite show or movie. Let your imagination run wild!

KEVA Plank and Rigamajig

 

Kids will use the KEVA and Rigamajig wooden building sets to creatively explore principles of geometry, balance, and engineering. Maybe they can have a building competition while they are here! We are excited to see what they will create

Art Room / Lunchroom

The 2,000 square foot Art Room provides space for creative activities; an art project will be available during field trips. It also serves as the lunchroom for snacks and bag lunches. Up to sixty people can be accommodated.

Judy Garland Childhood Home Tours

Step back in time to the 1920's and explore Judy Garlands' childhood home. Compare how household tasks were preformed then and now. See an old-fashioned icebox, ringer-washer, crank phonograph, phone without numbers, treadle sewing machine, a typewriter, and much more.

There's No Place like Hometown

Shop in the grocery store, make a meal at home to cook, run to the drive thru at the Credit Union, or stop at groomer to Wash & Brush Up.

All this can be done in "There's No Place like Hometown." Don't worry, there is a clinic and fire station in case you need it 🙂
