Explora!

Last Friday we went with Jack's playgroup to the Explora science center down in Old Town. The last time I went there, Jack was riding in a baby bjorn, so that was a long time ago! He really enjoyed it and we could have easily spent an entire day there. We actually stayed just two hours, but it was a total blast. This museum is probably most suited for kids 8 and up, but there was still plenty of fun stuff for our preschool group to do.

Here Jack plays in a water table where they had ping pong balls floating around various obstacles that the kids could manipulate.

In a "wood shop" area, you could build your own gears.

Of course, everyone's favorite area is the giant bubble table. Jack and his friends really enjoyed this part. Of course, he was wet, but it was a nice sunny day outside and we went to the park across the street for a picnic lunch when we were done at Explora.
