curio corner
What about "curio corner"?
This is used in all sorts of contexts and would generally
attract a child or an adult's attention!

: keep the alliteration. Although if you google "Curiosity Corner" you'll get LOADS of hits for children's activities, learning initiatives etc. Curious, hey.

Well, you asked for more child-like, and this would appeal to my 4 year old.

I forgot to add: I'm assuming this is a name for an exhibit/attraction and not part of a "technical" description of the park.

I'm actually editing a translation. The "translator" put 'curiosity corners' which put me over the edge....hence my proz quest! Special interest corners sounds great but how about something a little more child-orient(ta)ed.... :)
