Big Adventure

The Big Adventure traveling exhibit will
put your visitors into the middle of a physically and mentally challenging 3-dimensional game board. Each
adventure encourages children's natural desires to explore and investigate as
well as challenge their physical abilities
in fun activities like a climbing wall,
crawling tunnels, and a balance beam.

Components

In the Big Adventure, visitors will choose their adventures and, using their own imagination, creativity, and physical ability along with found materials, work their way through each of the fun, hands-on challenges.
The Big Picture - Plan ahead and map out your entire adventure in a large scaled road map of the game board.

• The Main Drag - Cross 3 different textured surfaces on your selected mode of transportation, including scooters and wagons.
• Mt. Adventure - Traverse the face of the "mountainside" with the aid of handholds and footholds.
• Out on a Ledge - Keep your balance as you cross between buildings on beams that appear to be three stories in the air.
• River Crossing: Bridge Out! - Cross the river without getting "wet" by building your own bridge using wooden planks, lily pads, and cargo boxes.
• Tunnels of Fun - Navigate the tunnels following a trail of textures and symbols such as dinosaur tracks and shoeprints, leading you to a "crow's nest" where you can look out over The Big Adventure.
• Virtual Flyer - During this virtual air adventure, use your body to tilt the plane, navigating around obstacles such as flocks of birds, balloons, and kites.
• Who's Like You? - Learn about adventure "pioneers," contemporary role models, and everyday adventurers that are just like you!
