Kids love exploring
Discovery Station’s new Adventures in Agriculture exhibit,
which they enter through a barn-like entrance.
They can climb through a cow’s mouth, feel a cow’s tongue,
explore what’s inside a cow, and exit by a cow’s tail sliding board. How
do you get a cow to take a pill? Find out at Discovery Station.
There is a corn bin with model farm equipment,
a root vegetable cultivation section, a fruit harvesting
display, and a produce store. You can even gather eggs from
a setting hen.
A video, “Take Me Out To The Corn Field,” cleverly
shows how Maryland farmers grow crops that contribute to our economy and provide
us with everyday necessities.
The exhibit also includes computers with interactive
agricultural programs, and books and puzzles about agriculture.
This is a unique learning experience that children
are sure to enjoy.
