This past Saturday my brother, Mark, and his family went with me and Amelia to the Museum of Life and Science. This place is a museum? It was awesome!
It's a hands-on environment the kind of which both grown-ups and kids can have fun. To start with, the outdoor trail goes past a percussion area which consists of a large shed with all sorts of percussion instruments hanging and mounted in the walls. You grab a pair of sticks and start banging away! Too cool!!!
Next, we headed down the trail, past the working, miniature train, to the livestock area. They had goats, sheep, cows, rabbits, pigs, ducks, hens, etc. This was great for Amelia to see since she has no idea what those things are when we see their pictures in her board books. She's basically a city slicker like me.
Lastly, we went into the butterfly house. This is an impressive indoor exhibit of live butterflies. You go through an air lock into their environment. You're in a very large greenhouse with butterflies throughout.
We all got hungry for lunch by then and decided to leave having seen only 1/3 of the museum. Next time, we'll check out the bears and wolves in the outdoor exhibit and all of the indoor stuff. Can't wait!
