Healthier Ever After

Open May 12, 2012

Healthier Ever After is an active fairytale forest. Children must maneuver through the make-believe forest overcoming obstacles as they exercise their bodies and learn healthy nutrition facts in a fun, playful manner. In doing so, they will learn to live “healthier ever after.”

The components, complete with interpretations and curricula, include:

Sneakers the Healthier Ever After Mascot Welcomes You!
A unique method of interpreting Healthier Ever After is accomplished through the use of the costumed mascot “Sneakers.”

Stretching Station
Begin your journey by warming and stretching your muscles. Here children (and adults) can do jumping jacks, trunk twists, arm windmills, and more!

Healthier Ever After Castle
While exploring the nearly 10-foot high castle, children will get their hearts pumping as they climb stairs, jump over a bridge, go down a slide and raise a flag signaling their successful completion of all the castle challenges.

Goodness Grove
In this make-believe orchard, children can pick, choose and sort their favorites while learning about which fruits and vegetables are good for them.

Coordination Cave
Explore the unknown as you improve your coordination by climbing a rock wall, going down a slide, and crawling through tunnels.

Coordination Cave
Parent/child interaction is an important part of the exhibit.

Daily Diet
This component will teach children about the food pyramid and the body’s need for water.

Move & Groove Meadow
Get your body moving by dancing, shaking, shimmying, jumping and skipping to high-energy tunes.

Pedal Pond
Strength and endurance are the focus of this component. Children will peddle a boat, cross a bridge, and when completed, can cast a line into the pond and try their hand a catching a fish.

Portion Patio
This component will teach children about how to eat a balanced meal and proper portion sizes.
