Testimonials
“Storyland is a high-quality, well-constructed exhibit that was both mission-based and attraction-centered for the Mississippi Children’s Museum. It offered our community an opportunity to focus on early reading. Parents particularly loved interacting with familiar elements from their own childhood. Minnesota produced a winner with Storyland!”
“When we walked into the Storyland exhibit, my kiddo’s eyes went wide with delight. To her, it was play. To me, it was early literacy in action. Storyland is a great opportunity for both parents and children to see how books are more than just words on paper and literacy is more than just knowing how to read.”
