We had a great time at the local Children's Museum. It's about a quarter of the size of Indianapolis', BUT Ana loved almost every exhibit. In fact, she visited several exhibits two or three times. I was impressed with how everything was very hands on which holds the child's interest.
The Kroger's grocery store was one of her favorite exhibits. She loved the little carts and being able to pick out what she wanted to eat. The scanners really worked. It was a challenge at times to find the bar code on the packaging, but she loved getting her receipt! What did she put in her cart-cookies, pasta, or ice cream? No way--it's calamari rings for this girl!
There was a dentist's office which showed all the teeth and the proper way to brush. Ana enjoyed the car exhibit which talked about seat belt/car seat safety. There was an actual full size car (minus doors) that allowed the kids to "drive" and try different car seats. She loved the bank where you could write checks and get money (that you could keep). She also really "got down" in the disco room. It's too bad my camera doesn't take videos--pretty funny!
Memphis, being the home of FedEx, of course had to have a FedEx plane! Ana loved sitting in the pilot's seat and pushing buttons to her heat's content. There was also a mini wind tunnel which allowed her to see what the flaps do on the plane. We also enjoyed watching a waterspout form. The kids can actually touch it and see how that disrupts the flow of air.
