The museum is organized into different "playscapes" so the children can discover, explore, PLAY, and interact with one another. There's so much to do, you can't possibly do it all in one visit. But that just means there will be new stuff to explore on your next visit! And there's something for everyone from the wee little ones to upper elementary. Katelyn spent her time in 5 of the playscapes: 'Art a la Carte', 'Click Clack Train Track', 'Under My Feet and Over My Toes'(reportedly her favorite playscape!), 'Ready Vet Go', and the 'CMD Fire Station #1', with a real fire truck equipped with all the bells and whistles!
Of course my budding artiste had to paint a picture in the 'Art a la Carte' room. When we return, there is also a puppet theater to explore and a stage area for dancing!
Katelyn loved playing with the trains!
Katelyn, Felicity, and Brynna had a wonderful time dressing as little woodland creatures and exploring the "tunnel room" as Katelyn called it. Ahh, aren't they cute!!
You can imagine our surprise to find a Veternarian playscape! At this time, Katelyn plans to be a Vet when she grows up! She loved this room and enjoyed playing with Brynna too!
CMD Firestation #1 is incredible! There is a life size firetruck that the kids can pretend to drive, hoses, sirens, and even a Dalmation firedog-you know Katelyn loved that!!!
Like I said you can't do it all in one day so when we return (SOON!) we'll have to check out the 'Junior Jobsite' which is only there thru September 7th and definitely 'The Market and Restaurant' playscape. There's also storytime and wonderful outdoor play equipment that Katelyn would love to explore on a cooler day! Oh, and Jen, when you & Anton come next summer we're adding the Children's Museum to our must-do list-he will love it!! Check out their website at mychildsmuseum.org

Looks like so much fun! We will have to go sometime.
We had a great time and are so glad you guys were able to join us! The museum is great. I love that it is a "yes" zone; "yes" you can touch, "yes" you can climb, "yes" you can play and pretend and run and jump and explore. There are plenty of "no's" at home so it is nice to take the kids to a place that is full of "yes'"!
