Montshire Museum

 

This past Wednesday the kids and I went with a lady from church and her grandkids to the eastern-most side of Vermont to go to the Science Museum. It was a good two-hour drive, but the kids really enjoyed it once we got there.

Inside they featured a huge T-rex skeleton. Andrew, especially loved this!

Then they had several hands-on exhibits that had to do with air & force. They were allowed to touch and play with almost everything! They were all over the place.

Upstairs many of the exhibits dealt with different forms of weather. They saw effects of fog, lightning, wind, hurricanes, and tons more. Most of it was way beyond what they could understand, but they loved looking at it all and they were hard to keep up with! We’ll have to go back again another day when its not so crowded and we have more time to spend exploring everything.

After a picnic lunch we explored the outdoor exhibits, which all involved water! I was told they’d want their bathing suits, and they definitely did! They had all sorts of fountains to jump in, water squirting out of the ground, and rocks to climb on.

Abigail (otherwise known as Miss Priss, based on this first picture) didn’t really want to get into the water, but didn’t mind wandering around exploring the rocks and grass!

We saw a couple other exhibits outside as well, and attempted a short hike but couldn’t do it with the stroller. So we will definitely be going back another time to explore some more!
