When we drove up to the City Museum which is housed in a 10 story former shoe factory, this is what we saw outside. An amazing playground of metal structures for the kids and adults to climb through. There were two airplanes suspended in the air and a school bus hanging halfway off of the top of the building.
Inside there was one room after another full of random, but exciting adventure. This is a picture of us in the cave system. We took a spiral staircase up the caves 10 stories and as we went there was a huge pipe organ playing music. Once at the top we took a spiral slide all the way down....10 stories!
There was a room full of thousands of sponges. The kids spent an hour building and knocking them down. There was a room of pin ball machines, room full of the largest bug collection you have ever seen, a craft area, an underwater feeling area full of more tunnels and mazes, a room full of huge skateboard ramps with a maze under the ramps (we played chase in there for an hour!) There was even a one ring circus and a lady making the most intricate snowflakes you have ever seen...we made dragonfly, monkey, prairie dog, and dolphin snowflakes.
It was so random and so fun!
Then there was the roof....
The kids were able to climb up a huge dome all the way to the top where there was a cage to hold them in....crazy.
On the roof there were more slides, a faris wheel, several water fountains, more metal structures to climb in, a school bus hanging off of the roof that you could climb into, and a huge metal praying mantis.
Here is Emma climbing up to the top of the slide. Id you are interested in seeing more of our pictures from the museum see my facebook page.
Everyone in our family loved this place...and agreed it was the funnest day ever!!
