The kids are still a bit too young for most of the exhibits but we made the most of the exhibits they could participate in. I can't wait to take them back in another year or so to really see the wonder on their faces!!
Timo loved the whole water area. They had a flowing fountain that you could control the water flow by putting stones on it. And this one, you turn this cylinder of water around and around to watch the water inside. Cameron loved the weights exhibit. She just kept putting the weighted disks on the tracks over and over again, watching them roll down.
The sand circle was a big hit too...see a common thread...anything that spins was fascinating to them. You turn this wheel and watch the sand fall from the top to the bottom.
And the drums...oh boy, the drums. We could have camped out here the rest of the morning. I'm kinda glad the museum was crowded...we could tell the kids people were waiting to play with the drums so we had to leave them now. That worked pretty well and we made an easy escape!
I wish we had been able to take more pictures but all the exhibits were really hands on, we had no free hands to snap pictures. There was this one bubble exhibit that I wish I had taken some pictures. They had bubble water, a wand with a string that you pull to make a huge bubble. The kids loved the giant bubble but it took both of us, one to pull the string and one to keep the kids from sticking their faces in the bubble! There was also this magnetic area, a light show that you could control, tuning forks...the list goes on and on. We can't wait to go back!
