Keiki and their ʻohana discover the outdoors at Bishop Museum! Explore the world from the perspective of a bee; take a walk through a digital garden to see plants growing in super time, and investigate the creatures that only come out once they’re tucked into bed.
Bishop Museum presents Backyard Adventures, an interactive science exhibit that engages guests with the wonders that can be found in their own backyards. We’ll inspire the next generation of citizen scientists while emphasizing the importance — and fun — of outdoor activity and exploration with activities such as a giant skipping rope and backyard-themed mini golf.
“Backyard Adventures is a natural complement to our mission, natural sciences collection, and research here at Bishop Museum. Since Bishop Museum emphasizes the importance of natural sciences, biodiversity, and conservation, this exhibit puts science in action and encourages citizen science for all ages through engaging and playful interactives in a setting familiar to many ʻohana.
Our hope is that Backyard Adventures will instill a love of the sciences in many of our guests and show how they can start their own scientific journeys and research, in their homes and outdoors.”
-Brandon Bunag, Vice President of Public Programs
