EdVenture, Children's museum in Columbia, United States
EdVenture is a children's museum in Columbia with multiple floors featuring hands-on exhibits about science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics for children aged 0 to 10 years. The displays are designed so that children can learn by touching and trying things themselves.
The museum was founded to give children access to science and technology through hands-on learning. Over time it has grown into one of the largest facilities of its kind in the southeastern region.
The museum features Eddie, a 40-foot anatomical structure that children can explore inside, learning about human body systems through physical interaction.
The building is open to visitors most days and provides access to all exhibits without additional reservations. It is best to arrive early to enjoy the most popular areas, especially on weekends.
The center features a walkable, oversized anatomical model that lets children explore human organs from the inside. A special area also focuses on job scenarios where children can simulate and practice different work environments.
