Join Riff and Rosie, two delightful squirrels on a mission to trace the source of pollution in their town of Bright Water Corners.

Alongside their beaver-scientist friend, Castor Slaptail, use science as a tool for investigating the environment and finding a solution! Get a glimpse of what scientists have to do to collect and identify waste samples. View images of dust mites with a video microscope while learning about common allergens. Navigate dust particles through a gigantic nasal passage. Plus, check out a real mold colony and see what happens to food when you leave it in the refrigerator too long!

This interactive exhibit is designed for children to understand how the choices they make now regarding food, water and air, impact their health and environment in the future. Be sure to check the Children's Museum calendar of events for special character appearance times for Riff and Rosie!

Over 25 hands-on activities, including:

Rosie's Treehouse

Mr. Slaptail's House

Marigold Marsh

The My Home, Planet Earth exhibit, based on the My World educational series, was created in partnership with Baylor College of Medicine.
