SUMMARY:PAW PatrolTM: Adventure Play Traveling Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:On October 7th\, Please Touch Museum will welcome its newest traveling exhibit: PAW PatrolTM: Adventure Play. Based on the hit preschool series PAW Patrol®\, this interactive exhibit gives children and their caregivers an opportunity to run rescue missions and work together to overcome challenges in an immersive environment. \nMuseum visitors will visit Adventure Bay with a group of eight rescue pups. Each pup is inspired by a real-world job: a firefighter (Marshall)\, police officer (Chase)\, construction worker (Rubble)\, fearless pilot (Skye) and more. Just as the heroic pups work together to protect the community in the animated series\, families will work together to save the day with a ‘can-do’ attitude at the Museum. In the process\, kids will learn about the different jobs within their community and how those professionals coordinate to keep people safe and happy. \nPAW Patrol: Adventure Play will be available to visitors through January 3\, 2027.
