Uccello's Play Pizzeria at the GRCM
Get ready to order up some fun in Little Grand Rapids - that's the little business district inside the Grand Rapids Children's Museum.
Launched this morning, a brand-new, interactive exhibit called "The Uccello's Play Pizzeria" lets kids step into the role of chef, server, or delivery driver and explores the entire pizza-making process.
Kids can take orders using Uccello's kids menus, make pretend pizzas with toppings, and deliver pies in a mini car. The new partnership joins other local favorites in the museum's mini city, including Meijer and Huntington Bank role-play areas.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony happened earlier this morning, and special pizza-themed programming will be held throughout the day. The exhibit is included with museum admission.
