Guest Blog by Sam Condon, Communications Specialist at Minnetrista

Summer is just around the corner, and we’re off to see THE WIZARD OF OZ™ as Minnetrista hosts the first-ever licensed traveling educational exhibit, based on the beloved movie classic.

Set to arrive May 14, 2016, THE WIZARD OF OZ™ Educational Exhibit was Created by Miami Children’s Museum and licensed by Warner Bros. Consumer Products as a journey of self-discovery that’s fun for the whole family.

Along the way, everyone will experience the adventures of DOROTHY™ and her friends as they find their way back to true happiness. Elements of the movie available only in this licensed exhibit include the RUBY SLIPPERS™, the characters everyone knows and loves from the film, and classic movie moments.

You can visit the Wagon of Professor Marvel, and create your own tornado in DOROTHY’S™ bedroom. Explore Munchkin houses and meet Dorothy and her friends, SCARECROW™, COWARDLY LION™ and TIN MAN™. Enter The Emerald City™ and create a “Horse of a Different Color,” play at the kaleidoscope and prism stations, but “pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.” Climb the mountain to the Castle of the WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST™ to capture her broom from WINGED MONKEYS™. Finally, just remember to click your heels three times while reciting “There’s no place like home,” to depart the Land of Oz.

THE WIZARD OF OZ™ Educational Exhibit first debuted in Miami in 2010 before traveling to other major cities, including Boston, New York, Minneapolis and Pittsburgh. From May 14 through September 18, 2016 at Minnetrista. Entrance to THE WIZARD OF OZ™ Educational Exhibit is included in each regular admission to Minnetrista. Admission is $5 for adults and children; member discounts apply.
