Turtle Power! Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles™ Share Secrets of the Sewer, Ninja Tactics and Teamwork at Children’s Museum of Atlanta
Limited-time exhibits opens Jan. 18 – May 10, 2020
Atlanta, Georgia – After more than three decades of battling evil and exemplifying teamwork, the beloved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) will appear in an exhibit for children and families to enjoy at Children’s Museum of Atlanta. The four funny “heroes in a half shell” will share life lessons and team-building skills with their crime-fighting tactics in Nickelodeon’s
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles™: Secrets of the Sewer™ opening Jan. 18, 2020 in Atlanta.
In the exhibit, families will be transported to the underground home of the crime-fighting heroes to see what really happens in their secret hideaway. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles brothers Leonardo (the tactical, courageous leader in blue), Michelangelo (the free-spirited jokester in orange), Raphael (the aggressive tough guy in red) and Donatello (the scientist and technological genius in purple) invite families to their New York City sewer lair to train together and learn about the Turtles’ comedic, skillful strategies.
“Children and families will be transported when exploring this larger-than-life exhibit,” said Jane Turner, executive director of Children’s Museum of Atlanta. “Little ones will have the opportunity to learn about the value of team work and togetherness as they discover how each member of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles plays a pivotal role in the group’s accomplishments.”
The Turtles are known and respected for their teamwork. As the TMNT’s sensei and adoptive father Splinter often tells them, “Together there is nothing you cannot accomplish.” Through team-building challenges, collaborative games and mind-teasing puzzles, families and friends will learn skills to help them successfully work together. A few examples include:
• Building a “bridge” together and thinking creatively as a team to overcome challenges.
• Pizza Shooter Arcade: Using a ninja-powered pizza shooter, families will work together to load, then pull back and fling pizza disks at arcade style targets in the windows of a NYC apartment block. Successful shots will trigger bells or other sound effects.
• Back Alley Rope Maze: Families will work together to navigate a rope maze without triggering alarms. It takes dexterity, skill, and assistance from other team members to get everyone through the maze by planning ahead.
• Mikey’s Pizza Grabbing Game: Mikey had an awesome idea – what if we combine fun, pizza and lightning-quick ninja speed?? This competitive dexterity-based reaction time game will encourage family team members to go head to head and test their reflexes, as they follow patterned lights and sound effects.
• Sewer Pipe Assembly: A free-form construction activity using sewer pipes (PVC) to build shapes, arches, or tunnels to add to the Lair. Families can create a sewer pipe together and see where it goes.
The Turtles took the comic book world by storm in 1984—and since then Donnie, Raph, Leo and Mikey have brought Turtle Power to cartoons, movies, video games and toys!
Children and families across the nation will have the opportunity to explore
