Learning through play
The Children's Underground has many opportunites for constructive play. Climb in a late 1800's pony cart. Try on reproduction clothing and climb on a train. A new child-size recreation of historic Yakima City is nearing completion. The Children's Underground is the stepping-off point for all student tours of the museum, which allows the museum to combine instruction with experiential learning.
