What will you find on a visit to The Building for Kids?  You never know!  It might be an appearance by a children's book character, a scientist doing the "impossible" and making it look easy, or maybe that one art project that ignites a new passion in your child.  We can't predict what the magical moment will be for you or your child, but once you're here, you're sure to find it!
