OTTER COVE CHILDREN’S MUSEUM
BrownKnows Design was the sole designer/exhibit fabricator for this new museum that launched in Fergus Falls, MN in 2020. Otter Cove includes a multi-level play area called “Otter Romp” that encourages children to climb, crawl, balance, and share; a sectioned “Town & Country” zone with simulated businesses that promote role play; a stage for showcasing imaginative play; and several craft and maker spaces.
