A Blooming Experience for Kids: The Kids Cocoon is an interactive play space brimming with activities that spark curiosity and creativity in children. Designed to engage young minds, this vibrant hub offers something for everyone. 

Creation Station at The Flower Show: This year, The Franklin Institute joins the fun by integrating a Flower Show-themed version of its popular Creation Station into the Kids Cocoon. Young builders can craft stunning floral-inspired masterpieces using LEGO® bricks, combining science, art, and nature for a truly unique experience.  

A Celebration of Sustainability: Amidst the fun and games, the Kids Cocoon also serves as an educational platform, highlighting the importance of the environment and sustainability.
