31 Days of Play! Little Scientist at Play

I think one of the great perks of parenting is the fact that you get to re-live some of your own favorite childhood experiences!  Though I only have vague memories of the specifics, trips to the museums as a kid were a huge hit; I clearly remember that it always felt magical to be in such large buildings with so many fascinating things to learn.

Science World

Our first visit to Science World was a huge hit!  It's wonderful that something so "educational" is just one big playground in the eyes of my little guy.  Beansprout loved the toddler area, experimented with some of the hands-on stations, and (much to our surprise) went around the dinosaur exhibit FOUR times.  We had a great time seeing the experience through the eyes of a two-year-old!  It's wonderful to know that each time we explore a museum like this Beansprout will be a different kid - that the learning and the play will be new each time.

What are your memories of museums when you were a child?  Do you enjoy them today?  Would you consider a trip to the museum play?
