Many museums cater to children only. Others, even some art museums, have children exhibits. Here are some reasons to take your children to a children's museum:
1. When you visit a children's museum you often see classes from grade schools, scouting groups, and also special groups catering to the needs of children with handicaps. But you should take your children by yourself. Parents understand their children and they can see things in the museum that their children would have had an interest, but because there is so much to see, they missed them.
2. Children have varied interest. Their little minds gobble up everything they see, hear, and can get their hands on. Exploring topics of interest and developing new interest enriches their lives.
3. A newly discovered interest can lead direction to a child's life. They may become so interested in a subject that they may make it an important part of their life. They may develop a life-long hobby or a vocation. For example, climbing into the giant heart model at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia may turn your son or daughter into a doctor of medicine, even a heart surgeon or cardiologist. The same museum also has an amateur radio station. I found that hobby to be a joy over the years.
4. Just spending time with children is precious and rewarding. Sometimes the kids are bored and are looking for something to do. So pile the kids into the car and take them out for the day, visiting a museum, is a great way to spend the day, eating in the cafeteria (if available) and browsing around the gift shop are fun activities too.
5. There is almost always public transportation to a museum. We took are kids to Philadelphia by train, not because it was simpler than driving the car but because it was something new and exciting to kids who have never hopped on a train or bus. And when you get to the museum, you don't have to worry about where to park the car.
6. When you get home, you will hear your kids talking about their museum trip. They may be excited about the planetarium show, a movie in the museum theater, watching the huge pendulum in the lobby of the museum, the dinosaur exhibit, the great blue whale, the insects, birds, animals, the "you name it." They will want to go again.
You can easily find a museum not too far from your home. There are many listings on the Internet. Contact the museum or visit its website to see what cost are involved. You might drag grandpa along to help pay the bills.
