Imagination Place’s Super Kids Save the World Ends May 14 GADSDEN, AL: It’s been a fun spring at Imagination Place at the Hardin Center as children and their parents have learned how to go green with the Super Kids Save the World exhibit. The exhibit gives kids real superhero training starting with the four R’s (Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle). The chance to participate in all the fun is waning as the exhibit ends this Sunday at 5 pm. The exhibit is based on a children’s book, George Saves the World by Lunchtime, which was written by Jo Readman and illustrated by Ley Honor Roberts. George Saves the World by Lunchtime features an ordinary family, who in the course of their day save the world simply by making responsible choices. Super Kids Save the World features immersive environments inspired by the book where children can learn about “green” practices in their community. The exhibit features a family home with a garden; a re-use charity shop, where kids learn to donate outgrown items instead of discarding them; a recycling center, where today’s trash becomes the materials of tomorrow; a gas station and a Smart car, where families learn tips to reduce fuel consumption; a farmer’s market, where foods come free of wasteful packaging; and even a research lab, where alternative fuel sources are under development. Through pretend play, engaging activities, fun graphics and energy-saving tips, kids can find out how they too can become super kids and save the world. Learn more about how you and your family can save the world with this exciting exhibit before it closes this Sunday. Admission is $8 per person, free for children under 24 months, and free for Hardin Center members. Admission is good all-day and includes Imagination Place Children’s Museum and the Hardin Center’s exhibits. Imagination Place has more fun family activities planned for the summer.
