You can even explore the town of Kidopolis, where you’ll discover secret passageways and perform tricks at the magic shop.

American Adventure puts visitors into the shoes of the original colonists. This realistic role-play adventure presents one great challenge: To survive for one year. Sound easy? Think again…
Of the original 104 settlers who arrived in the spring of 1607, fewer than 40 survived the first twelve months. Visitors wind their way through interactive galleries in this challenging 2500 square foot maze, while struggling to overcome demands on their knowledge and decision-making skills.
Created by Seattle-based Minotaur Mazes and the Virginia Living Museum, American Adventure provides an illuminating window into the tough, bewildering natural landscape that bedeviled so many of America’s first English settlers. With a little luck, and most likely a few attempts, visitors may avoid slipping into the danger zone where their next decision could be life or death.
“American Adventure” opens May 25th in the traveling exhibit space inside the Museum of Natural Curiosity (in between Kidopolis and Water Works).
OPEN MONDAY-SATURDAY 10 AM - 8 PM
INCLUDED WITH VENUE ADMISSION, FREE FOR THANKSGIVING POINT MEMBERS
Curious minds can explore the natural world right in our own backyard. Go outside in nature and see what is out there. Look under rocks, peer in a stream, and gaze into a tree to see what you can find. Then you can bring in what you find and trade it in for points at the Museum of Natural Curiosity Trading Post. When you’ve saved up enough points, you can pick out a special treasure to take home. You have your choice of everything from magnifying glasses to rocks and minerals, from shells to animal bones and antlers!
