Archeological Dig Puzzle – Learn about items important to Indigenous communities such as arrowheads, pots, and more as you dig through the sand pit and put the pieces together.

Cypress Circles – Cypress trees provide shelter for animals and protect our coasts. Unlock the mystery of how to tell a cypress tree’s age, using real slices of tree trunks.

Florida Plant & Animal Matching Game – Panthers, alligators, and manatees, oh my! Play this game to learn about Central Florida’s native animals while earning prizes.
