You’ve been to the park, the playground and the mall and you’re still looking for the perfect location to take children three and younger. After a visit to this exhibit, you’ll feel you’ve come to the right place.


From the Mountains to the Sea

In My Backyard, children learn through play while you take time to relax in this enclosed area specially developed for children 3 and younger. Young children explore the beach, forest and mountains without ever stepping outside. My Backyard reflects the diverse flora, fauna and geography of South Carolina, making this a warm, safe setting for youngsters to play.

 

Exhibits include Camp Piney Woods, where there are plenty of roots surrounding the live oaks that are perfect for crawling on. Stop by the realistic campsite, complete with tent and camping gear. Then head over to Pollywog Pond, which is just for babies who are learning how to sit up and crawl. It’s a soft-sculpted area surrounded by a comfortable bench for the ever-watchful caregiver. Next, set sail on the Little S.S. Shrimpy, a kid-sized shrimp boat. Ring the bell and steer her out to sea as you sing your favorite songs about the water.

 

My Backyard is complete with a family bathroom, stroller parking and a gated door.
