There is still time to check out the Discovery Center’s latest exhibit, Horsin’ Around, before it trots off later this month.
The hands-on exhibit allows participants to explore the horse industry and the science behind caring for these animals. The exhibit offers a variety of activities for children, including a ride on a plushie pony in the corral, becoming an equine vet for the day, and designing their own jockey silks.
There is also footage of historic horse races on display, and children are welcome to try out the hobby horse dressage and jump course.
The exhibit is open on Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Discovery Center, which is located at 701 NE Sanchez Avenue in Ocala. The final day to experience the exhibit is on Saturday, June 18.
General admission to the Discovery Center costs $8 per person or $28 for a family of four. Annual memberships are also available for individuals and families.
