to a place for kids to play
by Robin DeMattia
R etirees aren’t the only ones having fun in Collier County. Since it
opened in 2012, the Golisano Children’s Museum of Naples (C’mon)
has celebrated the natural curiosity of children by offering a dynamic
educational space that encourages exploration and discovery for children from
birth to age 14.
The two-story 38,000-square-foot space located across from the Sun-N-Fun
Lagoon in the North Collier Regional Park offers hands-on play opportunities
through 14 interactive exhibit galleries. The popular attraction also includes
the Johnsonville Backyardville play area, a Family Resource Library, Discovery
Center exploration rooms, Garden Café with healthy snacks, and Museum Store.
Utilizing state-of-the-art technology, the exhibits invite visitors of all ages to
journey through the swamps of the Everglades, weave through a maze, climb a
two-story banyan tree, or experiment with the water play station. Children can
become a weather forecaster, a farmer, a chef, a fisherman, an artist, an architect
