Shaun the Sheep™: Flock This Way!
Shaun the Sheep™: Flock This Way!, an interactive exhibit based on the popular film and television character, will open at the EcoTarium on September 14th. This brand new exhibit, created by Minnesota Children’s Museum in partnership with Aardman, runs through early January!
In this hands-on exhibit, visitors explore the antics of Shaun the Sheep and his pals on Mossy Bottom Farm. Designed for children ages 3 through 9, Shaun the Sheep™: Flock This Way! builds on problem-solving themes in fun, engaging ways.
