This month, come play in the Nest and engage in infant and toddler-friendly activities about the Super Solar System!

The Nest is Kidzu Children Museum’s early learning environment for infants, toddlers, and their caregivers. Designed for children under three, The Nest is a place for children and caregivers to play and learn together with materials meant for exploration and experimentation.
