Last week, we did another stop on Jenna's Washington County project. We still have several to go-- I was hoping to finish last week, but we ran out of time. This one is the Discovery Station. Kinda rinky-dink when you've been to the Children's Museum in Indianapolis, but it was nice. K and J and C and I had fun in there for an hour and a half. Couldn't do any longer cuz I didn't have any more coins for parking, but that amount of time was perfect.
It's right on Washington St (Rt. 40) in Hagerstown.
This was the agrictultural section-- kids could pretend with food and animals and a store, etc. And there was a cow you could climb thru-- weird concept, really. Wish I had a pic of it. You could lift up a flap where the head of the cow was, climb thru it, and then there was a space about 4 ft square where they had diagrams of the inside of a cow, etc-- then the kids could go down a small slide out the cow's back end.
They had a few nice train displays that the kids could push some buttons to operate. There was also a really nice model of the Titanic.
Girls enjoyed sitting in a 2-seater Cessna.
This is a balance beam-- probably the part they had the most fun with. :) Looked like something Papa could build in an hour. You can't tell in the pic, but it's covered in carpet- that was nice when they fell. The vault behind Jenna held an Egyptian sarcophogus and some semi-precious stones, but things were not labelled and explained very well, so I don't feel like we really learned much.
