Zany Maze is Open!Zany Maze features a labyrinth of hedges tall enough for children to feel hidden (but short enough for adults to see them), peek-a-boo windows, surprise passages and kooky topiaries. Icons from nature are hidden within for open-ended scavenger hunts, and there is a gentle grass hill with a telescope dock, benches and picnic tables.
Zany Maze is free and ADA accessible, making it a space that everyone in the community can enjoy. Come see what all the fun is about!
Recently, Garden Time's host William McClenathan paid a visit to Zany Maze. CLICK HERE to see what William had to say about our new outdoor exhibit! Video courtesy of Garden Time.
A unique exhibit exploring the fundamentals and philosophies that inspire us at ‘the museum that doesn’t act like a museum.'
The Wonder of Learning is a traveling exhibition from the municipal Infant-Toddler Centers and Preschools of Reggio Emilia, Italy. Explore the creative, intellectual, and social capacity of children as we showcase and share the ideas that drive the Museum’s mission to inspire imagination, creativity and the wonder of learning.
