What am amazing adventure! I found out about this museum and its Lego exhibit 3 days before we went. Chris was out of town all Labor Day and the kids and I needed things to do. Another homeschool Mom mentioned this awesome museum and that its lego exhibit would be gone after this weekend. “I think you just planned my Saturday!” I said.

What a cool museum. A traveling exhibit, 16 discovery rooms, a natural history wing and so much more. We were there for 4 hours and had the best time. It would recommend this as an awesome day trip for any family.

They are finishing up some of the discovery rooms, so sometimes explanations and information about the exhibits were lacking, but a person who worked there said they are working on that. Some of the rooms were put in just recently.

Also, scattered about the hallways around all these rooms are climbing and other interactive toys for small children. So if you had a 5 year old and under 3 year old – this place would work great.

I took so many pictures that I have to do this in parts!! The first part covers the Medieval lego exhibit and the Discovery Rooms.

The lego exhibit was so cool because it was using legos as a way to give kids a taste of castles and Medieval times and also an opportunity to be creative. They had tons of building areas, a computer castle designer, make-you-own fairy tale, a game where you built a wall and then launched a catapult to see if it was strong enough, a jousting area, and real knight artifacts. It was so very cool!

OK, now we are moving onto the Discovery Rooms which covered a wide range of topics – the human body, the water and bubbles room, the weather room, the energy room, the pioneer room, the simple machine room, the tea room, people of the world room, the communication room. Some rooms were better than others, but I am sure that every kid would find a few rooms they would love.
