On our second day in Toledo we went to Imagination Station (Toledo's science museum). In the entrance there is a massive interactive ball maze. There were several places where kids could put balls in and watch them go through different obstacles.
There were various hands-on exhibits to play with. One of them was a giant floor piano for the kids to walk on and make music.
There was a fun water area that Samantha went to town in! She had lots of fun splashing herself in the face and moving the rubber duckies from one place to another and back again.
All 3 of my kids worked together to make a dam for the water.
There was a section in the water area where there were various pieces of tubes to be used to build water passageways.
In the "Little Explorers" area there was a grocery store that Samantha enjoyed spending time in. There were shelves for each food group and some very realistic looking food. Samantha got various types of food and put them into her shopping cart.
After she filled her cart, she headed to the checkout.
The cash registers made beeping noises as the kids "scanned" them. (There was a laser beam that, when it got interrupted by the food, caused a beep) The buttons on the register made a bunch of silly noises.
When Marc and Daddy joined up later, Marc decided Samantha looked like she was having so much fun, he decided to ring up some of his own groceries.
There was a pulley example turned into a tug of war. On one side the rope was attached to the top of the beam and on the other side the rope was attached to the bottom. This was supposed to show how the pulley system worked. Marc was pulling on the side where the rope was attached at the top. He was taking it VERY seriously that they couldn't win! ;)
It was a fun afternoon. Marc learned lots, even though he didn't know it. ;)
