The Magic House is making waves with a splashy new exhibit based on the Jim Henson Company's popular PBS Kids TV show, Splash and Bubbles. Featuring real puppets created by the Henson Creature Shop, Splash and Bubbles: Dive In, Lend a Fin! takes children on an underwater adventure to learn about the ocean and what they can do to help protect it.
Along with their favorite fish Splash, a yellowback fusilier, and Bubbles, a mandarin dragonet, children discover a whole new world as they navigate an under-the-sea maze in a kelp forest, learn fun facts at Flo's School of Fish, "swim" with the flowing sea creatures that inhabit the deepest part of the ocean, explore a sunken ship that has become an artificial reef, and even go on a treasure hunt!
Splash and Bubbles: Dive In, Lend a Fin! opens on January 29 at The Magic House and is open during regular hours. The exhibit is included with admission.
