Discovery Cube Orange County: Disney Doc McStuffins The Exhibit

Macaroni Kid Upland-Claremont-La Verne review by KC:

Doc McStuffins Toy Hospital is brought to life at Discovery Cube, Santa Ana. Doc McStuffins was there for the ribbon cutting and to greet all the children at the Discovery Cube. The Toy Hospital has a reception desk, Nursery, ER area, and a X-Ray station, just like a real hospital to educate and entertain your child.

Upon walking up to the Toy Hospital Exhibit there is a sign just like the one in the Disney Junior show. After walking through the door or going down a slide to the reception desk, children hear a message from Lamby and Stuffy. Lamby needs help at the nursery and Stuffy needs help in the Pet Vet area.

Before heading to the nursery, the children pass through the ER and OR. In the ER children give diagnosis for patients and in the OR children can operate on a robot Dragon with on-screen assistance.

While in the Nursery children take care of babies. With many tasks to be done before putting the baby to sleep. The babies need to be fed, bathed, rocked and put in their crib.

The next stop is the Pet Vet area. Children can perform a scan on the stuffed animals to diagnose and to treat their problems. The cats need to eat with the dogs because they are shy. The dogs need special cone collars so they don't bite themselves. And some need a fur trimming.

The station that seemed especially popular was changing out the fishes' dirty water with clean water. This shows how to properly change out the fishes' water using buckets and blue balls. And my toddler was especially helpful in gathering the loose balls that stray away.

There is plenty of activities for kids and it also educates them on what goes on at a real hospital. If your child is a fan of Doc McStuffins you will not want to miss this exhibit!
