Kids can move the catapult back and forth and pull down the arm to change the trajectory of the balloons. It is fun to soak the dragon, plus kids improve estimation and critical thinking.
Kids can also go to the Dance Theater where they can paint backdrop with all kinds of colors and patterns. Kids can also program Arthur to dance by putting dance moves into a sequence.
