The event starts at 6 pm and goes until 10 pm. We arrived at 7:30 and stood in a line that extended across the front lawn of the building, out the gate and down the street. And guess what, this was just the line to get a number to wait to be called in. We were #376. At the time they were calling #s 70-80.
They did have a DJ and a Magic show for a while. There were these tunnel things for the kids to play in. So we waited.
and waited
and waited
and waited
and waited
and waited.
Finally at about 9:00 they let us in. We crowded in, avoided rude little children and parent's elbows, and fought our way through the exhibits.
Chef Kate
A whole room full of . . . what do you call these things? Toys where you put a ball in and it rolls through and does a bunch of cool stuff. Whatever they are called, I have some cool ideas for toys John should build.
Vacuum tubes - The kids could put colored scarves in and watch them shoot through the tubes. They could switch levers to change the route of the scarves took.
Fort roomAnd finally "The Climber"
3 stories of crazy climbing maze for kids to loose their fitness challenged parents in.
In the end, I guess it all worked out well. Because we were the last ones to get in, there were a lot of people leaving. By about 9:45 we didn't have to fight little ill mannered monster children so much. The kids had a fantastic time and I guess that is what matters.

Oh my gosh, your kids are so cute. And holy crap, Kate is growing up so fast. She looks so much older since I last saw her. This museum looks like a children's best dream.
Your kids are so big! Wow, it always amazes me how fast kids grow. They are so cute, and looking like they are having a grand old time.
