Building Buddies

Plan, renovate, decorate, paint, tile, build, and more at the EcoTarium’s new featured exhibition, Building Buddies! Learn about the world of construction while the EcoTarium undergoes construction!

The Building Buddies exhibition portrays a small community where everyone is busy working on their homes. Different characters, “buddies”, invite young children to play, explore, collaborate, create, and learn while improving the “neighborhood”.
