CREATE & LEARN

The Major Lee Berra Creation Station is a hands-on learning environment at the Museum that introduces children five-and-under to all modes of transportation while developing and enriching their primary early learning skills. The self-directed educational play place is enjoyed by children with a parent or guardian. The Creation Station is first-come, first-served, and the entire party needs to be present to purchase tickets.
