The day we were there, the regular entrance was blocked off. The research I did before hand wasn't super helpful as we were unable to locate the free parking and we couldn't find the way in. It was a frustrating start. I suspect we were given discounted admission based on my frazzled state.
At any rate, the museum was fun and had a wide variety of exhibits different from other children's museums we've been to. A lot of it was above the level of our kids, but there was enough stuff that the kids did like. The dinosaurs weren't the big hit as I was expecting. However, we spent a great deal of time in the space station area, the physical science area, and the water table were something all the kids loved. There was also a small area with some animals, including a talking parrot. The parrot would say, "Here kitty, kitty, kitty!" "Hello!" And a very impressive wolf whistle every time someone walked away from it.
There was a tightrope bike I couldn't get anyone to try with me. I meant to go back and give it a go on my own, but it didn't happen.
There was a police helicopter the kids liked crawling over - photos 1&2
Photo 3 was in a house of illusions. The bed and walls were crooked. If you were on the bed, there was supposed to be an illusion you could see. I wasn't able to make it work - maybe because Gemma was crawling all over me?
