Lonely Planet review

A favorite for area mommies, this museum features discovery centers for toddlers, a media center where technologically savvy kids can work in a TV studio and the Inventor Center, where cool tech stuff like digital imaging and scanners are available. Expect the kids' stuff to be filtered through a sophisticated city lens, as recent exhibitions shaped interactive art projects around the works of William Wegman, Elizabeth Murray and Fred Wilson.

During summer months, little ones can splash around with outdoor waterwheels and boats for lessons on buoyancy and currents. The museum also runs craft workshops on the weekends and sponsors special exhibitions.
