The Discovery Science Center...every little kid's dream playground!!! We decided to go so that the kids could see it again and while we had extended family in town. It was CROWDED, but the kids had a blast touching everything and playing around. The theme at the time was the body, with Sesame Street and Elmo as the hosts. The kids got to play with lots of machines that made noise and showed what different body parts do...
This organ looking machine talked about different parts of the body...
This wheel turned a mixer of sorts above that had green balls in it and was to show how digestion worked...
This was the door and steps to the Sesame Street set...the kids recognized it and of course wanted to check it out!!
They had these neat toys that allowed the kids to pedal or row or even roll a wheelchair in a race to the finish line on a screen above them. The only problem was that other parents weren't watching their little monsters and they kept hitting the reset button so that none of these poor kids could make it to the end to see the lights go off. At least they had fun trying!!
They also had a replica of "Elmo's World" and Freddie loved it...he loved the kid size bean bags and looking at all the stuff!!
And of course, Karyl wanted a chance in front of the Sesame Street door too!!! Such a cutie!!
The kids had fun, but it was almost too crowded to really let them enjoy it. The worst part was the so many parents don't watch their kids or teach them any manners, so our kids would be playing with one toy and another kid would just walk up and literally push them out of the way....and the parents wouldn't do anything. I would definitely try and go another time when it's quiet and school is in session so we eliminate the unruly children from the equation. Our kids were so good, they waited their turns and were so patient, but it was hard when they noticed what all the other kids were doing and then wondered why they had to wait. Sometimes you just want to knock some sense into other parents, but let's face it, it wouldn't do much good!!
