The Secret Forest is designed for the museum's youngest visitors.

Visitors can expand their curiosity by guiding a boat down a river, exploring animal skins and more, he said.

There's also a new climate change exhibit.

Attendance has come back after an earlier COVID closure, Miller said. When the museum first reopened, there was a line out the door.
