There are so many cool museums close to my parents that I wanted to take the kids to but we only had time to go to one. After a little research, we chose the Museum of Life and Science in Durham because they had a train and dinosaur park! My niece, Kenzie, was on crutches but was such a trooper keeping up her sister and the twins....There was an outdoor area and an indoor area....we hit the outdoor first before it got too hot. Cameron parked herself at the music area, of course, and Timo planted himself in the middle of the dump truck/digging area with several trip inside the big caboose...some things are no surprises with my kids!
Thank goodness we had a train ride to catch...I'm not sure we could have gotten Timo out of the dirt pit otherwise. And oh what fun we had on the train!! The driver even let the kids come up and ring the bell, Timo was first in line! We took up quite a few cars with our crew and we had a blast. The ride was about 20mins, just long enough for the little ones.
Afterward, we traveled back in time to prehistoric days. They have a massive dinosaur park there with lots and lots of life size dinosaurs. There was also this "digging for fossils" area where the kids could search for sharks teeth.
It got really hot outside, too hot, 98degrees, so we headed inside for the toddler activity area. Cameron was showing off her super climbing skill and Timo was making works of art at the water painting area.
There was also a bug exhibit, space ship, weather making area and more that we checked out but it was all very hands on with the kids and I didn't have a free hand to take pictures. We had so much fun, I can tell this place is on our list to come back to next time we're in NC!
