Oceaneer Lab
As part of the 3-to-12-year-old spaces, the Oceaneer Lab offers kids a place to play games and do guided activities. The great thing about the activities in the Oceaneer Lab is that they're based on interest level and maturity, not age, so that way siblings and friends can play together.
