Boonshoft Museum

Since today was another nasty day out, I decided to take Julia to the Boonshoft Museum. We have never taken Julia to the Boonshoft Museum before so I was interested to see how she would like it. The Museum is geared for younger kids, so it was prefect for Julia. She LOVED it!! I think we will be buying a family pass so we can go again, and again.... Jerrod said he was jealous that he did not get to go along.

They had this HUGE play area, with all kinds of hands-on stuff for kids 6 and under. Julia had a blast in that section. She liked the other areas too, but pretty much ran non-stop the entire time, so I only got a few pictures in the play area.

Playing in the log cabin.


Julia's FAVORITE part of the ENTIRE Musuem.... A HUGE (and I do mean HUGE) water table!!!!! She just played and played in this water table. I had to drag her away to go do other stuff there. She managed to find her way back to the water table later too...




Playing with one of the other activities they have.


She was really trying to figure this machine out...


And figure out how a microscope worked...


Of course, the slide was also a big hit. For some reason she took off her shoes and socks towards the end.

Hello! I work for the Museum and your blog came up on my daily "Boonshoft" Google search - glad your daughter loves the Museum! Just wanted to let you know that if you kept your receipt, you may be able to apply all/part of what you paid to get in to an annual membership. (Within 2 weeks)

Thanks!
