Travel from the Gale Farm in Kansas to the colorful Land of Oz where you can explore Munchinkland , The Crossroads, the Witch's Castle , and Emerald City with Dorothy and her friends.

Elements of the movie available only in this licensed exhibition include Dorothy's Ruby Slippers, images of the characters everyone knows and loves from the film and classic movie moments:
  • Visit Professor Marvel's Wagon and create your own tornado in Dorothy's bedroom.
  • Explore Munchkin houses and meet Dorothy's friends the Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion and the Tin Man.
  • Enter The Emerald City and create a "Horse of a Different Color," play at the kaleidoscope and prism stations
  • Climb the mountain to the Wicked Witch's Castle to capture the Wicked Witch's broom from Winged Monkeys.
After playing, remember to click your heels three times while reciting "There's no place like home," as you depart the Land of Oz.

The Wizard of Oz Children's Educational Exhibition will run through September 15th, 2013.

Talking About Tots
Dr. Klaus Libertus from the Kennedy Krieger Institute will present: The Stages of Brain Development – An Overview for Parents .

The brain is a fascinating organ and its development across childhood (and beyond) is a topic of great interest for parents, teachers, and scientists alike.

Probably the most surprising fact about the brain is that almost all its neurons (the key cells in our brains) are present well before birth.

In fact, almost all of the roughly 100 billions neurons we possess in our brains exist already at 18 weeks of gestation – well before your child is born. But having neurons is only one part of the story of brain development.

In this short presentation you will learn what happens next and the important role of experiences for shaping the developing brains of our children.
