Science Museum

With two kids who love Science, we spend a lot of time at our local Science museum. It has only been open for a few years and is fairly small. However, all of the exhibits are hands on and the staff is amazing. They get on the kids level and explain things throughout the museum. They put on stage shows, bring out experiments when they get bored, and are always smiling.

Many museums have a water table. This water table has pieces you can place to change the flow of the water. You can build it up or cut it off then race to see how quickly your ducky floats to the other end. This can become a bit competitive.

They also have an area for creating large bubbles. You know it's a good hands on museum when even the adults have to try the experiments.
