They wander into a tent labeled Doctor Marvel’s Magnificent Anthropological Exhibition!,
the Centennial Fair is like a tiny version of the 1893 World Fair, which had lots of these "anthropological" exhibits, where actual human people were put on display. (for more on the skin-crawlingly awful imperial practice of displaying humanity, i can recommend Peoples on Parade: Exhibitions, Empire, and Anthropology in Nineteenth-Century Britain by Sadiah Qureshi)
