Several of our friends have recommended the Children's Museum of Brookings, SD, and since Ann and Evie and Libby were out for a visit this past week, we thought it would be the perfect time to check it out. What a fun place! Full of information and hands-on activities, there's more than enough to keep children and parents busy for a whole day. And downtown Brookings is very nice. After 11 years as a South Dakotan, this was my first time there. I was impressed, and a good time was had by all.
We spent at least 20 minutes in this construction zone:
Then it was on to the indoor water fun, with balls, waterfalls, steam and lots of splashing:
The girls (especially Eden) loved the giant light-bright:
Upstairs we discovered big, blue blocks:
Then on to the deli and icecream shop where the kids served us up lunch (and charged quite a price for it, too!)
Painting on the glass:
And Eden's back to the light-bright.
End of the day:
