The New Children's Museum was great! From the moment I stepped in the building I was drawn to everything surrounding me. The fact that I am 21 years old and loving the place, I am sure that younger children love it even more. There was so much color and life to the place that I could stay in there for hours. What I liked most about the museum was that everything was hands on! Kids were not there to sit and write sentences, but to explore new ideas. There were different sections of the museum that had different activities, so a kid was never stuck at one station. There were so many different things that you could do at each station. For example, in the Rain House, not only did we make a Thunderstorm, but we counted the birds on the walls, and we noted the colors that were used to decorated the house and why that was relevant. The media art was appropriate because it got students thinking in a different way! Students were so intrigued with each different thing going on.
There was a lot of entertainment, but it was educational entertainment! This was great because kids were learning as they had fun!
