The insatiable curiosity of Curious George - the little monkey who has captured the imagination and hearts of millions of children and adults for 65 years - comes to life in the Van Vleet Gallery. The exhibit introduces young children to Curious George’s world and leads visitors on a fun, meaningful interactive math, science and engineering-based adventure. The immersive exhibit environment takes place in the neighborhood where Curious George lives with his friend, The Man with the Yellow Hat.

Inside the exhibit - Apartment Building: operate wheels to move George on pulleys from window to window.; climb the fire escape and go inside to play with color, light and shadow. Sidewalk Produce Stand: play customer or salesperson and explore shape, sorting, weighing and counting with fruit and vegetables. Construction Site: climb into the construction trailer and design a building, then use materials and build structures using machines to move materials. City Park: enjoy this green space: rest or give a hug to a full-size George; young visitors enjoy our busy wall activities for babies and toddlers. Mini Golf: use pipes, ramps, funnels, turntables, bumpers and force to experiment with physics and engineering as you putt through three holes of mini golf. Space Rocket: step up to the rocket Curious George took on his space adventure. Farm: go to the country and visit the farm; experience cause and effect and use wind power to move yard art like whirligigs, windmills, windsocks and wind chimes; build your own whirligig and care for the farm animals. Museum Within the Museum: learn new things about George; follow H.A. and Margaret Rey’s work.

The exhibit was designed, developed and built by Minnesota Children’s Museum in partnership with Universal Studios Consumer Products Group.
