Current Exhibit

Outdoor Adventures invites you on a breathtaking journey into the wide world of the outdoors. Get ready to stake a claim at our campsite and learn to fish in our new hands-on exhibits that spark creativity, learning, and laughter.

Step into a discovery space filled with interactive exhibits and activities where you will be immersed in different cuisines and engage in imaginative play with fishing, camping, and even mountaineering!

Randall Lewis Second Story and Beyond® is a children's discovery space in Rancho Cucamonga, California, built on books and filled with an ecosystem of literacies like collaborative and pretend play, social-emotional growth, and spatial learning—all within 8,000 square feet of engaging educational exhibits.

Adventure Zone (dress up and explore)
Time to let your imagination run wild at our pretend play station, where young ones will expand their language and thinking skills by being whomever they can imagine themselves to be! Interacting with those around them, children will immerse themselves in different characters and scenarios.

Assembly Required (rotating building activity)
Put on your hard hat and show off your building skills at our construction zone, where children will build their very own objects by gathering information, experimenting, and discovering things for themselves.

Creation Station (digital creative art space)
Let your creative juices flow to design fun and silly characters at the creation station, where participants can watch their creations come to life on a projected screen and join all the characters that came before theirs!

Cucamonga Peak (climbing wall)
Cucamonga Peak will give young ones an experience in mountaineering and rock climbing, where children will be able to climb, stagger, and slide into a new adventure.

Epic Journey and Courage Crawl (climber and climbing tube)
Let’s go on an adventure as participants climb up the platform climber to find their way up to Courage Crawl to have a bird’s eye view of the library. Or participants can climb their way to the netted climber that will overlook the water table and have opportunities to interact in a game from above!

Spectacular Sense (bone conduction, light table, tactile wall)
Bring all your senses to life as you explore our sensory room; touching, hearing, and seeing all kinds of interesting things! Through exploration and curiosity, young ones will recognize their separate senses and how they come together to create a full experience.

In addition to some of the exhibits above there are two ancillary rooms, the Art Studio and the STEM Lab, that offer a wide range of community programming from contract classes, staff led programs, to intuitive programming that is fun for the whole family.
