Museum

So back in February I took the kids to a museum while my wife was at a baby shower. It was a lot of fun. I was expecting to see just dinosaurs so I was quite surprised to see a room at the beginning with all sorts of physics stuff.

 It's hard to tell from the picture but the circular disk in the middle was spinning and you could put various objects on it and see what would happen. Personally I thought it was cool seeing the pool balls spinning on the disk.
Here is another one where you would push the buttons and it would show how the different parts of the leg are used to push the pedals of a bicycle. After spending some time in here we went to the regular part of the museum. It was fun walking around. I'm not sure how much the kids liked seeing the dinosaurs but they really liked the hands on stuff. Here you could build a dinosaur.


Then they had an area with a bunch of magnetic puzzle pieces.

This is were we spent most of our time. Water would flow down to a drain. There was a lot of sand in the play area that you could use to alter or stop the flow of water. My daughter worked on stopping the water while my son played with the little dinosaur toys.

 Right before the exit they had an area where you could uncover dinosaur bones using small brushes.
