Curious George interactive exhibit at Miami Children’s Museum

Curious George: Let’s Get Curious!

Immersive exhibits and memorable experiences are the cornerstone of the Miami Children’s Museum. Explore the gallery that introduces young children into the world of Curious George, leading visitors on a fun, meaningful interactive math, science and engineering-based adventure.

The exhibit opens January 28, 2023.

  • Miami residents only $12 each
  • Florida residents only $16 each

Based on the familiar characters in H.A. and Margret Rey’s classic stories and inspired by the animated television series on PBS KIDS, visitors can operate wheels to help George climb a building, sort and weigh fruits and vegetables at the produce stand, use science skills to putt a hole of mini golf, visit the rocket from George’s space adventure, and build a whirligig in the country.
