It’s PAW Patrol to the Rescue Beginning September 12
Kids and families can play and save the day with the heroic PAW Patrol pups, at the brand-new PAW PatrolTM: Adventure Play traveling exhibit presented by Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital and sponsored by Florida Prepaid College Savings Plan and Chewy Vet Care, opening September 12 at the Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS). Based on the hit preschool series PAW Patrol, produced by Spin Master Entertainment and airing on Nickelodeon, this interactive exhibit gives kids and their grown-ups an opportunity to run rescue missions and work together to overcome challenges in a fun and immersive environment. Visit Adventure Bay and meet the rescue pups, each inspired by a real-world job – there’s police officer (Chase), firefighter (Marshall), construction worker (Rubble), fearless pilot (Skye) and more. Just as the heroic pups, who believe “no job is too big, no pup is too small,” work together to protect their community on the TV show, families visiting MODS will work together to save the day and learn about how real-life professionals coordinate to keep people safe and happy. Families can pop-on a pup pack containing their own imaginary tools and check out the lay of the land from the lookout tower, head to Jake’s Mountain and scope things out near the snowy slide to see if anyone is in trouble, board the PAW Patroller and drive it up the mountain to help Rubble and Everest rescue a snowboarder stuck in the snow and more. On select days, Chewy Vet Care will also host an interactive Vet Clinic, where children can step into the role of animal caretakers by practicing empathy and learning how to care for pets and other animals in need. Families will also have the opportunity to meet the brave individuals – both human and furry – who help keep our communities safe and healthy with Meet & Greets, a Touch-a-Truck Zone and K-9 Demonstrations. PAW Patrol: Adventure Play was produced by The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis in partnership with Nickelodeon. The exhibit runs through January 11, 2026, and is included with admission to MODS.
