Dorothy, Toto, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, and the Tin Woodsmen touch down at Long Island Children’s Museum shortly. Follow the Yellow Brick Road to the premiere of a brand new exhibit, “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz!,” at Ozapallooza!, a special pre-exhibit event, on Thursday, Jan. 28.
This new exhibit takes visitors on a journey from Dorothy’s Kansas farmhouse to magical Oz. It opens Friday, Jan. 29, and runs through May 2.
As visitors step through the larger than life pop-up book exhibit, families will learn about tornados, play dress up in a Munchkin house, and meet the Tin Woodman to learn about the heart with beating, beeping and flashing machines. Also solve brainteaser games and puzzles with the Scarecrow, and crawl through a dark cave with the Lion.
Families will have fun with many character-themed activities planned for this opening night:
* Concoct some tasty Tin Man pretzels.
