The annual xZOOberance spring festival returns, offering 16 days of engaging activities from noon to 4 pm.

In this turtle-y awesome exhibit designed for fun-lovers of all ages, you can:
- Visit the Dojo, where Splinter and Raphael show ninjas-in-training the value of hard work, practice, and knowing your enemy.
- Hang out in the Common Room, where the Turtles play games, watch TV, and use a periscope that lets the team keep an eye on the New York streets above!
- Problem-solve in Donatello’s lab, where circuit board puzzles produce lights, sounds, and views of hidden toy dioramas when successfully solved.
- Demonstrate your rad reflexes with Mikey, who’s here to show off the fun side of the team’s training routine! Try out Mikey’s pizza-making game, shred it up on the balance boards, and take a quiz to answer the question—”Which Turtle Are You?”
- Explore the streets of New York City while you work to defeat the Kraang and the Foot Clan! Help the Turtles crack codes, maneuver through an alley rope maze, bash bad guys with a pizza thrower, and take on a videogame challenge.
