What is a children's museum?
What is a children’s museum? That is sometimes a difficult question for people to answer. When we hear the word museum we often think of a place where “inside voices” are used and a place that we are expected to look with our eyes and not with our hands. A children’s museum, however, couldn’t be more different.
Children’s museums are all about discovery and learning through play and at KidsQuest we take great pride in offering hands-on learning opportunities for children and their families. Through our exhibits and programming children are inspired to explore, play and learn individually, with their peers and with their caregivers! Research continually shows us that “play” is a necessary component in child’s development and it is our goal to make sure that kids will always have a place to learn and grow. After all, play really is a child’s work!
Below is a link to an interesting article that I found:
Tell me what you think, I would love to hear your comments.
I have 2 children 4 -6 and I can say with the utmost confidence that a children's museum is not a "in-side voice" place. I have had a Kidsquest membership for 3 years and my kids and I use it all the time. we touch and yell and run and have a great time, the staff is helpfull and enjoyable. I have personal gotten to know Putter who has come out of her way time say hi to both me and my children when we arrive.

My niece and nephew love this place. It's great that they can get messy there instead of my house and it's much easier for me to play in the truck with them than talk about Hannah Montana.
