Learn about the five food groups during a visit to the interactive To MyPlate and Beyond exhibit at The Health Museum from Saturday, January 23 through Tuesday, May 17, 2016.
Dig into the building blocks of a healthy diet at the engagingly interactive and highly informative family-friendly exhibit To MyPlate and Beyond at The Health Museum.
Guests will learn all about the five food groups: fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins and dairy, and how to create a balanced meal as they peruse the many sections of the Health Museum’s newest temporary exhibit.
To MyPlate and Beyond is set up like a grocery store, with guides Max and Munch leading the way – making it a fun, yet educational environment for kids and families.
Visitors will be able to check their calcium in the dairy aisle, learn how to read food labels, play interactive games, discover how to grow a garden and much more.
As they continue on their adventure, visitors will get tips at the “Breakfast Bar” and learn how to make healthy choices while eating out at “Munch-N-Drive”.
