We love hearing about how visitors experience the museum! This quote and 📸 came from Small Family Big Adventure:

"I love science🔬 and I love it when my kids love science. ❤️ Today, the kids pretended they were polar bears in the cool arctic ice ❄️ display. They explored real steam trains 🚂 and learned about a time when steam made the world go round.🌍 They played in the children's lab 👩‍🔬 where they let their imagination run wild."
