FARM 101: Know It to Grow It
Last week we opened Grow U and introduced the masses to a clever cast of animatronic characters that lead visitors through an agriculture based game show, FARM 101: Know It to Grow It! 
We’ve added more than 500 new team members to the Imagination Station crew, too! They might be tiny, but their job collecting pollen and building honeycombs, is never ending. Come peer inside a honeybee hive and watch these amazing creatures at work. Download the Exhibit Guide 3-5. Download the Exhibit Guide 6-8.
