This Sunday my family and I went to the Minnesota Children’s Museum – where we were surprised with the fact that it was the 3rd Sunday of the month, which is sponsored by Target and therefore FREE to enter! Sweet – Except… very VERY busy!
Ethan’s favorite place was the water tables – he loved exploring with his hands in the water and not getting in trouble for playing in the sink!
Andrew learned how to float a ball across a bunch of pipes by clogging the holes – it’s fun to see their minds figure these things out!
The grocery store was the next favorite for the boys. They were able to use their own sized grocery carts, go around and pick out food, weigh it, and put it up onto a conveyer belt so they could ‘check out.’
We had a ton of fun – exploring all of the different areas they have, and learning through interactive play!
Much more fun than sitting around at home like we had originally planned! We will definitely be heading back there soon, but making sure it’s not the 3rd Sunday of the month!

I wish we had something like this here my son would get the biggest kick out of being “hands on”.
David says
We went to a museum in Chicago a few years ago and the kids were able to see a chic hatch right in front of them. Some of the exhibits are fun for adults, even though they are geared towards children.
Sadie says
We love childrens’ museums. My kids usually head to the water areas first.
Tim says
The best times in elementary school were when we would take a field trip to a local science and history museum.

The Childrens Museum and the Art Museum are always great places for rainy days. Our Art Museum has classes for children all summer long that are really great and they love them!
