To celebrate Daddy's birthday and to cap off our Space Unit, we took a trip to the Discovery Museum and Planetarium in Bridgeport, CT.
There was lots to see and touch. By no means the best museum I've been to... but the kids were entertained.
Excited already... and we're still in the parking lot!
Astronauts Little Man and Big Boy.
Driving the Lunar Rover.
Building Moon bases.
Playing with light and reflections.
Playing with colors.
This would be the boys first planetarium experience... and my first since high school (oh so long ago!). They did pretty well. Not scared of the room or the dark like another little girl (screaming right next to us. Poor girl. But I think she did end up enjoying the show). Having to stay quiet and still was the hardest part- the show was too long by only a few a minutes. It was a movie called "The Little Star who Could". One day we'll be back to see some actual constellations and star maps under the planetarium... but this was perfect for now.
Fun that looks like an awesome museum!
