The exhibit provides a great contextual experience for learning about what builders do, and allows children to become builders themselves. Parents will enjoy watching their children work on plumbing fixtures, explore the world of plumbing and tools, and construct their own creations out of LEGO ®s.
Visitors to the exhibit will engage with recreations of Bob and his Can-Do Crew, including such popular characters as Wendy, Scoop, Muck and Scrambler – all of which provide wonderful photo opportunities. Bob’s Mobile Home is also a focal point. Children can help fix the drip coming from the sink while exploring their favorite builder’s real life home and watch video clips from the show.
Other activities in Bob the Builder “ Project: Build It! include building sleep stalls for Bob’s machine friends, climbing aboard kid-sized equipment, communicating with their favorite characters through Talkie-Talkie and decorating Wendy’s caravan. Conservation is also a key theme of the experience, and children will explore an interactive water pump station and help Farmer Pickles bring water to Sunflower Valley.
