‘Exploring Trees Inside and Out’ Traveling Exhibit Opens in Atlanta

Looking for a cool, family friendly activity to do in Georgia this summer? Then be sure to check out the Nature Explore Traveling Exhibit, “Exploring Trees Inside and Out,” at Imagine It! The Children’s Museum of Atlanta.

The traveling exhibit, presented by Doubletree Hotels, the Arbor Day Foundation and Dimensions Educational Research Foundation, recently opened at Imagine It!, and will be at the museum through September 13.

“Explore Trees Inside and Out” encourages family members of all ages to explore the beauty of the great outdoors through the incredible wonders of trees. The 2,500-square-foot exhibit is designed to create a better understanding among children age 2 to 10 about the significant role trees play in the environment.

At the exhibit, children will be able to crawl through a log and experience it as a habitat for other living things, help a seed grow into a young oak inside a huge acorn, explore a tree trunk, smell scents from various trees, and hear the sounds of animals that live in trees.

The traveling exhibit will move to Boston in September in 2009, and will travel throughout the country through the end of 2010.
