Adventure Science Center

I took a break from unpacking this morning and took the boys to the Adventure Science Center. This is one of the museums that we get into for free with our AMSE membership.

I'd rate the museum as average. We've been to better science museums but have also been to some worse ones. Carter had a lot of fun though running around and pushing buttons and playing.

We got there right as the center opened at 10 am but it got crowded after about an hour and we only lasted until noon before I decided there were just too many people there. It was 102 F here today so that may have contributed to the large crowds trying to find an indoor activity.

Carter liked the little dinosaur exhibit and did a good job imitating the sounds they were making ...


Our favorite section was Body Quest. There were lots of activities that demonstrated things the body does. In this one, you feed the mouth by throwing balls into it.


Carter wasn't into going on the slide. For how much we talk about poop in our house, I thought he'd be into pretending to be poop!


We hung out in the preschool section for awhile ...


Rylan really liked playing with (throwing) the train tracks ...


Building ...


"Ta-da!"


We spent a lot of time "driving" the ambulance ...


There is a really neat playground area in the center of the museum that Carter would really enjoy if he was older. He still found some things to do ...


Overall we had fun and I'm sure we'll be going again soon.
