City Capers
Role Play– Teamwork– Healthy Lifestyles
Play in a Please Touch city! City Capers offers a realistic urban environment of Philadelphia skyscrapers, a supermarket complete with a kitchen where kids can make use of their “purchased” items, a medical center, restaurant and shoe store, a Busy Build construction area and Front Step, a safe environment for toddlers. Together these activities create a ‘neighborhood’ inside the museum. Explore a museum favorite, the Supermarket, and discover the people, businesses and neighborhoods that make city life so dynamic. Another highlight is the display of the set and props from the beloved Philadelphia children’s TV show, Captain Noah and his Magical Ark.
