Lied Discovery Children's Museum Review
From science to art, the Lied Discovery Children's Museum has a little bit of everything and gives kids a hands-on approach to learning.
Kids can try out different career paths with interactive exhibits such as the bank and grocery store, maybe even learning a little math along the way. There are more than 100 hands-on interactive exhibits for children to explore, including a stage equipped with costumes where they can put on a play. The museum also features a "hurricane simulator," where visitors can experience winds of more than 70 miles per hour. They even can try their hand at the entertainment industry at KKID radio.
"Desert Discovery," a special area for visitors ages 5 and younger, will occupy children for hours as they discover the world around them. After dressing for a day of work at "Boulder Mountain," they're sent off to mine the pits, deposit ore in buckets and send it down the mountain.
Designed to highlight the importance of healthy eating habits, "It's Your Choice" is an intriguing exhibit for the entire family. The messages offers a wide range of foods that inspire parent and child interaction and conversation about healthy eating habits. The exhibit features interactive components tailored to educate kids while making it fun at the same time.
Whether they're playing dress-up, making their own cartoon strip or becoming the center of a bubble, children never get bored at the Lied museum. But the best part about the museum is that the "grown-ups" have just as much fun.
The various exhibits and experiments rotate often, and older ones are frequently replaced with new ones.
