Kidzu Children’s Museum is a hands-on museum in the heart of downtown Chapel Hill where children 0-8 years old and the adults in their lives can safely discover, pretend, and play to their heart’s content. Currently exhibiting KidZoom, and interactive display of NC-related kid-friendly activities, like a Farmer’s Market, art center and book corner. We’re big fans of Kidzu, mostly because it’s the only local kid museum, even though the community-related stuff is essentially lost on my kids. The folks behind it are trying very hard, hoping to expand and staying involved in the community. Go check it out
