The Children’s Discovery Museum plans to open a new “From the Farm to a Healthy Me” exhibit in 2026. The Normal Town Council approved a contract with Ravenswood Studio to fabricate and install the exhibit, allowing offsite work to begin while onsite demolition or relocation of existing installations is set for completion by the end of 2025. The project will be funded through reimbursements from the Children’s Discovery Museum Foundation as funds are raised.

The nearly 5,800-square-foot exhibit, “From the Farm to a Healthy Me,” will include an “Ag Lab” that connects agronomy, weather and soil through STEM instruction; a grocery store and food truck; a ball drop maze that represents the journey of grain from the field; drone simulations and a dedicated toddler place space.
