We are SO excited!!! It is SUCH an amazing place and so much work has gone into it. It is permanent, but every few months aspects will change to keep it fresh - especially in the science labs. It is located in a huge area, and has an ocean area, forest area with "waterfall", river, tree houses, etc. It also has underground caves, sediment studies, and more. It also contains science labs, a learning clubhouse, and archeological dig site. It also has a wetland section. The river has movement triggered LCD screens reflecting on the ground so when you walk on it, fish dart away, the water ripples....amazing! Check it out:
