"The Kimbrough Gallery on the lower museum level will delight children of all ages with its giant Monster Maze. As you find your way through, be sure to note the animals — real and imaginary! In conjunction with the maze theme, the space is framed with colorful zoo paintings by Wendy Latimer (TnWS Past President). Also, don’t miss the weekend model train runs in the Activity Center."
