Other cool permanent exhibits here include the Castle of Dreams - a two-story sandcastle that kids can explore, a Health & Wellness Center - where families can learn the benefits of good nutrition and exercise. and Pet Central - which teaches kids how to care for pets. The museum also features Mt. Michimu, a rock-climbing exhibit that allows kids to climb indoors; one-climb and all-day passes are available. The Miami Children's Museum also offers classes, camps and even a film program for kids.
