MountainTots is a new space made exclusively for toddlers that will engage the museum’s youngest visitors in an educational and developmentally appropriate way. This new hands-on exhibit is a place where families with young children can learn together and create long-lasting memories. MountainTots is made just for toddlers and showcase the beauty and diversity of the Adirondacks, while taking children on a journey through a mountain trail to a kid-sized lean-to, across a river, and to a waterfall with a climbing wall appropriate for little ones.
