The heartbeat of the museum is reflected in the Banyan Tree, and its central location ensures that everyone will spend at least a little of their museum time near, in, or up the tree. Comfortable seating is built into the tree’s massive trunk. A relaxed ramp leads up to a lookout platform, where there is also a transfer station to get into the crawling part of the up-the-tree experience. Here, children can easily crawl from level to level of the tree. Adopt a stuffed animal pet and learn to care for them in the tree house Vet Clinic can be reached via an air bridge from the 2nd floor.
