The immersive environments of the Grocery Store and International Diner encourage children
to role-play at grown-up jobs, as they take on the tasks of cashier, grocery clerk, cook,
wait staff, and customer.
Venturing into the grocery's large walk-in freezer, visitors find themselves transported to the
South Pole, in the midst of a blizzard. A conveyer belt and a speaking tube connect the Grocery
Store with the International Diner in the mezzanine upstairs. Cooks in the diner call down for
ingredients and a grocery clerk can crank the food up the conveyer belt. A chute system sends
food back down to the Grocery Store for restocking. In the International Diner visitors pretend
to cook using real appliances.
