PRIMARY PLACE
AN IMPORTANT NOTE: Why is there and age limit for this exhibit?
We believe it is very important for our youngest visitors and their families to have a separate, enclosed, and secure place in the museum, away from the “hustle and bustle” of “big” kids. This area was designed with their learning needs and physical size in mind. If your child is interested in this exhibit, you are welcome to come in and explore together. Please be sensitive to the needs and safety of our youngest visitors.
An early learning landscape!
Primary Place is a special area for our visitors that are three years old or younger and designed with their learning needs and physical size in mind. Its colorful, comfortable setting provides a stimulating and safe environment, encourages imaginative play, and helps develop fine and gross motor skills.
Explore the Baby Butterfly Garden and the Pond area, full of soft sculpture elements and animal puppets, whimsical wall murals, stepping stones, and other early-learning activities. Work off some wiggles climbing under and through a toddler-friendly climbing structure.
At the train table, access the elaborate Brio train village from all sides—you can even crawl under to play from the middle! The multi-tiered table is designed to represent the regions of New Hampshire and is surrounded by custom-painted murals of the state.
