EdVenture (EdVenture Children's Museum)

Visitors entering EdVenture Children’s Museum are immediately greeted by EDDIE®, the world’s largest child. The four-story high, 17.5 ton 10 yr old boy is the museum’s centerpiece and a hands-on exhibit large enough for children and adults to explore the inner wonders of the human body. EdVenture has more than 350 individual hands-on interactives including nine world-class exhibit galleries, a library, learning laboratories and resources centers with a focus on creativity, science, literacy and early learning. Visitors can roll up their sleeves and discover the "World of Work," where children can recognize and appreciate the diversity of jobs such as farmers, mechanics, firefighters, scientist and builders. Other interactive exhibits involve creativity using recycled products in the "Aha Factory," a 30-foot Energy Tower in "The Great Outdoors," biodiversity of plants and animals native to South Carolina in "Blooming Butterflies," home and fire safety in EdVenture’s 4-D theater "Home Safe Home" and health and nutrition.
