It is always a fun day whenever we took the grandchild to This Museum. Not only are the animals usually at a height that children can easily view but the other exhibits are interactive and great fun. Kids can let off some steam in the playrooms where they can safely climb and go down slides. The science interactive exhiibit entices children to challenge their minds while having a great time.
