Thursday afternoon, JSL and I had a date. We were going to The Children’s Museum at Saratoga to explore before I was set to finish an interview with their Education Director for KidsFunPlaza. We had been to the museum before, but it was when JSL was so little that he did not recall anything. The two of us had a fabulous time checking out all of the different displays and learning areas within the two floors of exhibits.
While in the school house room, the little guy was fascinated with a magnetic ball maze that was on the table. What I captured next was fascinating to watch. Here is my three year old making a magnetic discovery.
This truly is what The Children’s Museum at Saratoga and countless others around the world are about. They are there to allow children and adults to bond over learning experiences that are developmentally appropriate for the child.
So my question to you this week:
What is your favorite museum to go to (with your family or alone) and why?

My favorite museum was in Victoria Canada…not sure what it was called but it was beautifu and had so much to see. I went there before I was married so it was many years ago!

With Princess Nagger’s love of dinosaurs, we’ve been having fun visiting any museum that has dino stuff – looking forward to visiting the Museum of Natural History in NY over the Christmas break! :)

Actually, the Art Institute in Chicago. It has some amazing and well-known art and it has not given in to all of the commercial make money stuff that other large museums have.
Have a great day!

I love the Smithsonian History museum. I could go by myself or with someone. If I am by myself I can spend hours in one section.

Our favorite is still the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. Haven’t been there in 10 years, though. I also love the plantation museums in the south.
I’m so lucky to live in the DC area with many museums to choose from – most are free too. I love the American History Museum and the Air and Space Museum.
We love our little Children’s Museum and as a kid I loved The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago.
