i love free events for families, don't you?
and i love companies that provide such events so that families on a budget can enjoy themselves as well!
yesterday night was community night at the thinkery, where admission is based on donations. i went with my daughter last week as a chaperon for her field trip and truly loved the place and love the name of it.
although, it technically is a children's museum and you see lots of tots running around, the whole idea of it is perfect for school aged children. there are so many science related exhibits that allows the kiddos to engage their thoughts and creativity.
i especially liked the innovator's workshop, where the kids get to build, experience how light works, make animated movies, build their airplane and see how far it goes with a bowling ball falling on top of the launcher.
overall, it's a pretty neat place, the staff is wonderful and to top it off, there is a beautiful lake and park across the street to enjoy the rest of the day.
i've already been checking out other activities to do with the kids around town and next wednesday is decorate your own donut at krispy kreme! now you know rain or shine, i'm going to be at that one!
what are some of your favorite places to visit around your town?
