For our big family, sometimes it's hard to find activities that all of us enjoy, especially the kids ranging in ages from 14 down to 3. But the Museum of Science and Industry was one of those perfect places that had it all! In fact, I think Madelyn (our then 13-year-old) enjoyed it the most.
It was educational, but sneakily so. The museum had tons of hands-on activities, as well as demonstrations and visual aids and even a couple of rides. The kids loved going on the flight simulators. There were several levels of the the museum and each one contained a different theme or time period and the exhibits are ever-changing.
While we were there we learned about different modes of transportation, food and nutrition, pregnancy and how babies grow and develop, weather, history of America and business (we even saw a replica of the first Walgreens), sea life, electronics and technology - just to name a few. We could've spent the entire day there and we almost did! I think we were there for about 7 hours.
That evening we went to the famous Dylan's Candy Bar shop. It was pretty incredible and loaded with sugar, sugar, sugary treats. The kids were in HEAVEN!
And Jonathan and I were in heaven too when we saw the ice cream options. Wow!!
Everyone picked out a treat or two and just enjoyed exploring every inch of the store. There was every candy you've ever heard of, plus tons more. And so many creative creations too.
Jane found this lollipop that was almost the size of her head! Such a fun place!
