While it’s a trip down memory lane for parents, children also delight in trying to draw on the world’s largest Etch-A-Sketch or playing vintage video arcade games. Visitors to Exploration Place’s Toytopia traveling exhibit can also tour a life-size doll house, build a fort, experiment with LEGOs, and learn how toys are made and which ones were most popular every decade. The exhibit is included with general admission and is on display until Jan. 1, 2019.
