Get ready for one very curious monkey to make his Chattanooga debut at Creative Discovery Museum. Curious George™: Let’s Get Curious will be the featured summer exhibit June 13 through September 27, 2009. Through fun math, science and engineering-based adventures, this exhibit inspires children of all ages to ask questions and find answers through hands-on solution seeking.
Exhibit Programming:
* Get Curious with George
Tuesdays June 16 through August 11 are Curious Tuesdays. Guests will enjoy the
same kinds of activities that George encounters in his fun-filled adventures. Artists, zoo animals, community helpers and lots of special guests will bring fun and curiosity to these special days.
* Go Bananas over Pudding!
Banana pudding is a southern tradition and this exhibit is the perfect opportunity to go bananas over banana pudding. On Saturday, June 27th guests will be asked to vote for a favorite banana pudding by donating pennies. Area restaurants will serve up their versions of this sweet creamy concoction. Each penny is a vote for that restaurant’s recipe. Plus, kids will also have an opportunity to make their own at the only event in Chattanooga dedicated to this crowd pleasing dessert.
* Curious George Sightings
Curious George will make weekly appearances in the Museum June 13 - Sept 27.
* Curious Workshops
Monthly workshops will satisfy your curiosity about things kids LOVE to do. In June, the Summer Splash workshop will give children an opportunity to make sand art and hunt for treasure.
