New interactive exhibit opens in June at Children’s Museum of Virginia

“Shaun the Sheep: Flock This Way!” is an interactive exhibit based on the popular film and television character and will open at the Children’s Museum of Virginia on June 1. The new exhibit, created by the Minnesota Children’s Museum in partnership with Aardman, runs through Aug. 25.

The hands-on exhibit explores the antics of Shaun the Sheep and his pals on Mossy Bottom Farm. Designed for children ages 3 through 9, the exhibit builds on problem-solving themes in fun, engaging ways.

Exhibit components and activities encourage children to playfully explore themes around problem-solving and resilience in a safe and lighthearted manner.

Children can hop on balance boards, traverse a wall, balance on tires, try on a “championsheep” inspired costume, create a stop-motion animation using items from the scrap heap, hop into a truck and pretend to drive to the village, grab a sheep seat and cozy up to read a book and more.

Admission to the exhibit is included in general admission. Museum members get in free. All tickets must be reserved online. Visit childrensmuseumvirginia.com for more information.
