This interactive museum seeks to stimulate children's interest in the natural world and in society. Exhibits foster an understanding of such concepts as sound, gravity and medicine by promoting experimentation and fun. Kids can toy with light and shadow, manipulate water-powered machinery, play dress-up, and work on art projects too. A grocery store and cafe provide them the opportunity to experience the world of adults and expand their boundaries even further.   (© 10Best)

What a delight!
With a 4 yr old granddaughter and a 1 yr old great-granddaughter, I find this museum to be an absolute delight! No matter how often we go, the children never get bored with it. We go frequently, and have never been disappointed. The children are all watched over by their parents, without being herded or pressured, and it's "easy babysitting day"! If it wasn't so much fun to watch them, I could just sit by and read a book or knit! From great-granny on down to the littlest of our munchkins, all of us are pleased with the museum and we're sorry we didn't know how awesome it is, until a few months ago! To call it a museum seems like a poor choice, for those of us who equate that word with "dead bore"! There is NOTHING boring here, even for us old fogeys!
