Your children will love playing in our “snow!” We use a non-toxic polymer substance that looks and feels like real snow. It’s cool to the touch, but won’t get you cold or wet. The area is designed for toddlers through 4th graders.

The Let it Snow exhibit includes a 12′ x 12′ area of the snow, an ice castle bounce house, a slide, and several climbing obstacles. The area is decorated like a winter wonderland with holiday inflatables that also make for great photo backdrops.

Let it Snow is included with all-day Imagination Place admission. The cost is $8 per person for children and adults, free for children under 24 months, and FREE for Hardin Center members.

Families with EBT/SNAP/WIC are admitted for $2 per person, up to 6 people per family.
