The imagiNATIONS Activity Center provides young visitors a space to explore Indigenous peoples and culture. Today, many Indigenous innovations and inventions are part of daily life for millions worldwide. Visitors can explore some of these ingenious adaptations through hands-on activities such as basket-weaving, building a giant igloo, arts and crafts, "walking" in snowshoes, and so much more. Kids can also explore a tipi, walk through a replica of an Amazonian stilt house, solve puzzles, and relax in the cozy reading area.
