Are your kids fans of the popular PBS Kids series Wild Kratts®? If so, you won't want to miss the interactive exhibit, Wild Kratts®: Creature Power®, opening at the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh on May 20th!

Designed for children aged 3 to 9, this exhibit aims to encourage STEM skills by allowing families to explore animal habitats from all over the world. Kids will be able to discover incredible creature powers and even go on a mission to foil the villains' plans!



If you attend the opening weekend, you'll have the chance to participate in some special activities. On May 20th from noon to 2 pm, you'll get to meet live animal ambassadors from Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium, including a hedgehog, lizard, and turtle. You can also explore fur, feathers, and scales at a touch table with zoo education specialists.

Anne Fullenkamp, Senior Director of Creative Experiences at Children's Museum of Pittsburgh, says "We're excited to host an exhibit that knits exploration and discovery with rich learning experiences in the natural sciences."



At Wild Kratts®: Creature Power®, visitors will explore four animal habitats, including the Tropical Rainforest, the Antarctic, the Australian Outback Desert, and Your Neighborhood. Kids and families will get the chance to learn about and try out various Creature Powers® such as sneaking through the forest using the stealth of a jaguar, swinging through the trees like a spider monkey, testing their hops against a kangaroo, and much more!



Chris Kratt, executive producer of Wild Kratts and co-founder of The Kratt Brothers Company, says "This exhibit will get kids moving and thinking while they explore important concepts in science and the natural world."
