The Why-Brary was created during the 2023 expansion and is composed of former, smaller exhibits such as the Tree House Library, Soft Rock River Bed, and Giant Glow Bright exhibit. Visitors can:

  • read board books, chapter books, picture books, history books, and more;

  • play tic-tac-toe on a giant felt board;

  • build and rebuild with soft, foam blocks;

  • learn how to climb up a set of steps and take a slide back down;

  • draw with light or create designs using 3D-printed pegs on a giant board; and

  • play with a giant dollhouse.
