Discovery Children's Museum

The Children's Museum has a member's only time every month. This month we didn't have anything going on, and the museum has a new summer exhibit that looked fun, but not worth fighting the crowds for. I took the girls to the museum and it was nice and calm, and pretty much empty. We decided to go to the "Play" exhibit first, and it was almost completely empty. The summer exhibit is a bunch of life-size games which included: billiards, dominoes, Foosball, bowling, etc. They had tons of fun pushing the huge billiard balls toward each other, and in the Foosball characters there was a place to talk into and it altered you voice in different ways. I think the Foosball voice thing was both of the girls favorite part of the exhibit. They set up a domino house, and then set up a row of dominoes to tip over. They stood in between the dominoes and toppled with the domino train. They had so much fun!

After we played in the summer exhibit for a bit we headed downstairs to the Kid-size town where the kids enjoyed shopping for a bit, dressing up in the house, and pretending to iron.

The last thing the kids wanted to do before leaving the museum was to "fly" the helicopter.

The museum steadily got busier with members, but as the member time was about up, and it was time to open up to the general admission so we got ready to head out. I'm so glad we went to the museum when we did, and I am also so happy we left when we did before it got super busy.
