Hands On Science Center

Locally, we have a little place where kids can go to see different science things.  There are little blurb areas on the brain, different fish, magnets, building blocks, and all different areas involving science.

Recently, they celebrated a birthday and had a "party" for the community.  The invitation made it sound like very thing was free: entrance fee, food, activities, and crafts.  The reality was that only the entrance fee was free.  They charged for everything else, $2.75 for a slice of pizza, $5 for the bouncy house....who knows what the rest was because we didn't even check at that point. 

We were all disappointed and a bit frustrated.  I can understand wanting to raise funds for the center itself and would have had no problem with knowing that before hand instead of finding out when we arrived at the center.  Overall, we thought the science center was geared more toward younger children with multiple building areas with legos, blocks, and a few other type of building toys, but not really much for our older kids.

We did discuss this with one of the ladies who worked there, I can't remember the chicks name but she was pretty nice and listened to our ideas on what the older kids might like to see there. 

While there, Skye did take a few photos so I thought I would share them.
