MUSEUM DISTRICT.   Incredibly well-attended, this colorful, popular museum is clearly designed for kids. Like most facilities of its type, it promotes experiential learning and offers lots of interactive exhibits. Science, culture, geography, and creativity are all given due reverence. Build robots in Invention Convention; anchor the news; run a business; get elected as mayor in Kidtropolis, USA; explore nanotechnology in Matter Factory; portal through a mathematical quest in Cyberchase: The Chase Is On!, based on the PBS cartoon; take a wet, wild adventure in FlowWorks; and climb a three-story tower in PowerPlay. Traveling exhibits ensure that nothing ever gets stale for visiting young ones.   (© 10Best)

I have 3 children, ages 9, 8 and 3. The two lder children found a few things interesting, but overall, were bored. My 3 year old didn't have a lot of fun either. The best part of the "museum" was the outside area. They had the most fun playing in the water. But, all in all, it was way over crowded, the gift shop was expensive, and what had there just wasn't interesting. I'm okay with going one time, but I wouldn't take my children back anytime soon.
