We drove down to Indy with Liz and the kids today.
The model trains were captivating.
In the archeology section there was a conveyor belt to put rubble on that would fall down a shaft. It worked very nicely.
There was also some armor to put together.
We were just in time to see the water clock change from 12:59 to 1pm, which is when it goes from very full to very empty. Isaac was especially intrigued by this.
There was a really fun DC comic area. There were a lot of things to do, along with a small hunt to find clues to turn the BatSignal back on.
There was a carasel ride, an interesting mirror maze, and a miniatures section to round out the day.
On the way out we realized we missed the ball contraption. It was pretty cool because it required some user interaction.
The boys had a really good time, although Isaac has almost aged out of it. It was a bit of a different children's museum because it felt like there was a bit more reading and learning than structured play. Oh! There was also a sci-fi trivia time. We made a really good group...the kids knew all the young answers (Wall-E, Paw Patrol) and Liz and I were able to get the older clues. The last clue was the most exciting though...the question was what is the name of the thing put around the sun in ___ book to get power. Isaac (and Ben and I) have been playing a game that uses a Dyson sphere, so he was able to figure that one out by himself. (Oddly enough, Dyson spheres have been coming up a lot in the books and games I've been playing recently.)
