> | Imagine The Vision… (back) |
ImagineU’s vision is to offer dynamic, hands-on exhibits that nurture curiosity and a love of learning. The goal is to develop a new 13,000 square foot facility, located in downtown Visalia’s former Soroptimist Park, to house unique educational exhibits and programs. Valley families will benefit from an outdoor amphitheatre, an education/community room with kitchen and a Focus Group Facility, all features that have been identified as desired additions to this area.
Designed by Taylor/Teter Partnership, with exhibits designed by award winning exhibit designer Haizlip Studios from the East Coast, the museum will include the following exhibits:
Inside 
- Orange Grove and Packing Plant
- Oak Tree climber with live sciences incorporated into the trunk
- Culture house with café –both changing simultaneously
- Car repair shop
- Art Area

Outside

The following exhibits from the current museum will also be included:
