Kids’ Wegmans inside Strong Museum reopens after renovations
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The kids’ Wegmans inside the Strong National Museum of Play reopened on Wednesday, complete with a new cake decorating area and manager’s stand.
The Wegmans was closed for weeks to complete renovations that included new paint and carpet. Christina Griffin, the divisional community engagement manager at Wegmans, said the exhibit helps kids to both learn and play.
“Learning is number one. We want them to learn through play, through fun and through food. So we’re hoping with the new products here, they learn where food comes from and have fun doing it,” Griffin said.
The renovations come almost a year after the Strong Museum unveiled its 90,000-square-foot expansion. The expansion, unveiled last June, included new interactive exhibits and a new home for the World Video Game Hall of Fame.
