Sponsored nationally by Delta Faucet and produced by the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, the Bob the Builder exhibit is inspired HIT Entertainment’s top rated television series. During the exhibit, children can spend time in Sunflower Valley with the Can-Do Crew, learning the importance of conservation and building and maintaining a home.
