SUMMARY:Building Buddies at The Flint Hills Discovery Center
DESCRIPTION:GRAB YOUR HARD HAT AND PUT ON YOUR SAFETY VEST!\n\nPlan\, renovate\, decorate\, paint\, tile\, build\, and more at the Flint Hills Discovery Center’s new temporary exhibition\, Building Buddies\, opening on Saturday\, September 20. The Building Buddies exhibition portrays a small community where everyone is busy working on their homes.

It’s a fun and powerful way to spark curiosity and confidence in the next generation of creators”. \nBuilding Buddies provides an immersive discovery environment that encourages the development of science and process skills at an early age and provides development skills and learning opportunities including large and fine motor skills\, imagination and pretend play\, logical thinking\, and social interaction. \nBuilding Buddies is on display through January 4\, 2026. Regular admission rates apply. \nBuilding Buddies was developed by Loodo Exhibits\, and touring in partnership with Sciencenter. \nThank you to our sponsors McCownGordon Construction; Tim and Angie Schultz; The Flint Hills Discovery Center Foundation; Visit Manhattan; Hamm Foundation; Economy Electric; Bayer Construction and Larson Construction\, Inc.; Thermal Comfort Air; BBN Architects\, Inc.; and Orazem & Scalora Engineering\, P.A. \nLearn more at www.flinthillsdiscovery.org/buildingbuddies
