Traverse City Children's Museum

The last time we went to visit my Mom was about a year and a half ago.  Adam was 2 1/2 years old.  Despite his youth and the long time in between visits, he still remembered "the red museum".  The Traverse City Children's Museum is red on the outside and Adam has been talking about it for over a year. It's small.  It is basically one large room sectioned off for the separate exhibits.  The champion of the exhibits is the modular water table.  It has a current going through it.  You can move the walls to manipulate the current.

Jane was soaked from head to toe and I had to use the hand dryer in the bathroom (twice!) to make her clothes wearable again.



Adam loved playing with the walls and then sending boats down the river to see what changed.  He really is our little science nerd.


I wonder here he gets that from...

The water table looks fun! I'm sure our husbands would have an even better time changing things and racing together. You'll have to plan for that every time you go to visit, but next time BRING A RAINCOAT! That would solve one problem, right?
