The Power of Children: Making a Difference®

Admission
included
Dates
Permanent

Children have always had the ability to shape history and change the world. Learn the stories of four of those children—Ruby Bridges, Anne Frank, Ryan White, and Malala Yousafzai—and be inspired by how they used their powers and maintained bravery, dignity, and pride in the face of fear, prejudice, and discrimination.

  • Step into re-created, historically accurate environments important to each highlighted child: Anne's annex, Ruby's classroom, Ryan's bedroom, Malala's home 
  • Engage in live theater to fully immerse yourself in their stories
  • Discover ways you and your family can make a difference by taking action

The Power of Children® is recommended for ages 8 and up.
