About Careers

Step into the world of work at careers, where children can be anything from a doctor or veterinarian to a chef, mechanic, or shop owner. Take x-rays, fix a car, create a recipe, or scan groceries at the pint-sized cash register. Sell lemonade or set sail on the fishing boat, learning how teamwork and creativity keep a busy business running. Every role is hands-on and every child gets a turn being the owner, employee, or customer, discovering how different jobs come together in a bustling, miniature world. Children practice counting, reading signs, measuring ingredients, and solving problems while exploring their favorite careers.

Fun Facts
Dramatic, or pretend play, is serious fun. Children playing pretend are practicing social skills, cooperation, and problem solving. Children at play are writing their own stories, allowing them to explore new interests and roles. These exhibits are also packed with math and literacy building play, including quantity comparison and bilingual signage.
