If you've got little ones, the Scott Family Amazeum has a new place to play. The Hangout opened to the public Saturday, Nov. 7, and the new addition was officially opened at 10 a.m., with the Early Learning Advancement Center inside The Hangout. The space is built for children from birth through age 6.
The Hangout is a separate building catty-corner from the original Amazeum. It's part of the museum's $25 million Expanding Futures campaign. Guests at the ribbon cutting snipped the ribbon with souvenir scissors.
