The Children’s Museum of Manhattan has opened “Adventures with Dora and Diego,” a new permanent exhibit replacing its former Dora the Explorer exhibit.

The bilingual exhibit uses various interactive elements to help educate young visitors about Latino culture, science and animal facts. Kids can visit Dora’s house, a fiesta and Diego’s animal rescue and care center. There is also a tropical rain forest. The multisensory exhibit is composed of two Dora and Diego environments.

The museum also will host special weekend workshops and activities to coincide with the exhibit. Kids will make rain forest animal puppets, decorate mini-piñatas and create fiesta birthday hats.

The museum is in the Tisch Building, 212 W. 83rd St., between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday to Sunday. (The museum is open tomorrow, Memorial Day.) Admission is $9; $6 for seniors. Call (212) 721-1223 or visit cmom.org.
