Great Explorations Children's Museum Announces New Exhibit: Morris's Papa Johns Pizza Kitchen
St. Petersburg, FL, [April 2, 2024] – Great Explorations Children's Museum is excited to unveil its latest exhibit, Morris's Papa Johns Pizza Kitchen, in partnership with Papa Johns. This interactive exhibit is set to open its doors with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Monday, April 8th, 2024, at Noon.
The exhibit has received a flavorful upgrade with the sponsorship of Papa Johns, including the addition of a rideable Papa Johns delivery Jeep. Great Explorations has collaborated with Papa Johns to build a custom delivery car, offering visitors an authentic delivery experience. The unique car will proudly display the Papa Johns logo, along with a real car topper, making the experience truly one-of-akind. Kids can embark on a delivery adventure with Morris, the Explorasaurus, and Mr. Slice, thanks to the innovative "Papa Tracker" feature. The exhibit's pizza-making experience is further enhanced by a pizza oven, where kids can craft their own pizzas using a variety of ingredients.
In addition to the interactive components, there will be an educational game that promises to keep children engaged and entertained for years to come. The exhibit is designed to resemble a brick oven, allowing children to make their own specialty pizzas using felt and foam ingredients. They can then simulate baking their creations in the oven using a pizza paddle and serve their delicious masterpieces at the pizza kitchen tables.
Laura Bell, Tampa Bay Local Store Relationships Coordinator for Papa Johns, stated: "We are so excited about the new exhibit and partnership with Great Explorations! Papa Johns has always focused on serving our local community through our passion for food, education, philanthropy, and celebrating memories. This partnership embodies all of these passions and is extra special since many of us have visited Great Explorations over the years with our own families.”
The exhibit is a must-visit for families, offering a fun and immersive way for children to role-play as chefs, waiters, and delivery people. Great Explorations invites everyone to join the celebration at the ribbon-cutting ceremony and experience the magic of Morris's Papa Johns Pizza Kitchen.
