On Wednesdays they are open to the public for $1 per person, so that is the night we choose to go. It was so much fun having Lisa, Rachael, and Meka with us! The children all had a buddy to play with.
The special exhibit this month is a collection of over sized games. We've never had quite so much fun at this museum before! It was a very big hit, even for the adults.
Sarah and Nathan headed off to play chess immediately.
Matthew really loved playing a giant Jenga game. The tower ended up being taller than he was! It was colossal when it finally crashed at the end of the game.
Connect Four was very popular.
My favorite was Mancala.
Matthew and Dan also really loved the set of magnetized cogs.
I love going to this museum. There is so much opportunity for hands-on learning. Matt's favorite section is the TInker's Workshop. It's a room upstairs just packed with craft supplies. The children can cut paper and fabric, glue and tape all sorts of odd things together (like TP rolls, pipe cleaners, plastic shapes, etc), and video tape themselves explaining what their creation is. Matthew begs to go there right away, and he never wants to leave this corner of the museum. Keep in mind, that this is the boy who's heart desire is to create crafts and invent things literally every day. This room is perfect for him.
As far as Matt's concerned, it's pure heaven.
