In a nod to maritime tradition, Miami-based Carnival Cruise Lines and the Miami Children’s Museum will uncork a confetti-filled bottle of champagne to officially re-launch of the country’s only cruise-themed children’s exhibit.
After an extensive renovation, the redesigned 1,850-square-foot cruise ship-shaped attraction now features a host of new hands-on activities that provide oceans of fun and help kids learn the secrets behind one of South Florida’s largest industries.
At the two-level exhibit, kids sail on a sea of discovery as they create their own cruise-themed puppet show, listen to actual recordings of a captain bringing a ship into port, dress up as entertainers, play steel drums and “see how low they can go” with a fun limbo activity.
Executives from Carnival Cruise Lines and Miami Children’s Museum will be available for interviews.
