INK is a hot spot for a variety of school field trips, church groups, mom’s groups, child care centers, and home school students. If you are interested in bringing your school or group to Interactive Neighborhood for Kids, click here to contact us.
Our museum is geared towards visitors ages 2 – 12 and is specifically designed to offer an unparalleled educational experience. We are more than a “destination”, rather, we strive to let your child’s imagination run wild while learning about the world around them. Our hands-on, interactive exhibits are structured in a way that lets each visitor touch and feels the “real world”.
