Kids & Family Fun
It’s all about the kids and families where they can use arts and crafts to explore different aspects of their ancestry. Kids may work independently on a project or with a sibling or parent. Free face painting of tribal designs is available too. The area also features a variety of newly renovated playground equipment to climb and slide down.
