The new play structure is approximately 33 percent larger than the old one and has new great features such as a triple wave slide, a pogo stick, a giant tube slide –– and new for adults –– easier access to the structure's upper levels. 

The Exploritorium also features a Make Believe Tiny Town; a Water Play area, where children run their fingers through the water and experience a water vortex; miniature trains in the Transportation Station; a giant "Lite Brite" Wall; a Tic-Tok Ball Track, and a Baby Toddler Soft Play Zone.
