WINNER TO GIVEAWAY WAS: RITA W.

It is time to head to the Discovery Cube OC!  The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is IN THE HOUSE!  Now til January 16, Turtle Fans (of all ages!) can experience this unique exhibit that families can leap to the rescue and learn teamwork, collaboration, and problem-solving through puzzles, mazes, and obstacles.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles original series was dear to my heart growing up.  I still bust out the theme song each time I think about our mighty heroes.  Since 1984, the TMNT have rocked it with their talent and teamwork, inspiring generations of fans that being part of a team, lets us discover and exercise our own hidden strengths and those of our teammates.

“Together, there is nothing you cannot accomplish.”—Master Splinter

Now families can now join these pizza-eating, crime-fighting “Heroes in a Half-Shell” to hone their ninja skills and problem-solving intellects while learning the secrets of the sewer!

Come follow me to the Underground Lair:

The Dojo and Splinter’s Room

In order to create a seamless ninja fighting team, Master Splinter has devoted many hours to training the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT). In the Dojo, Splinter and Raphael show visitors the value of hard work, practice, and knowing your enemy.  

 

Common Area

Families are encouraged to explore the Turtle’s Lair, discover facts about these teenage crime-fighters, and hone their own individual skills.

New York City Streets


Put your skills and training to the test in the Streets of NYC. Try working together to stop the villain Shredder and his allies. Calling all Turtles!  Once you’re trained and ready, it’s time to hit the mean streets of New York City where villains lurk around every corner.
