On a very hot, humid day last week we went to the Resident Free Tuesday at the Ruben H. Fleet Science Museum and the Natural History Museum in Balboa Park in San Diego. It's offered to San Diego city and county residents. See website for details. However, there is a great deal going on in the month of October, kids 12 and under free with a paid adult at many of San Diego's museums and art museums.
Currently, there is a Geometry Playground exhibit at the Science Museum. We enjoyed climbing the geometrically shaped play structure, climbing through wooden spiraling tunnels, creating patterns, angles, arcs and shapes throughout the museum.
We also enjoyed playing with pendulums, seeing both man-made and natural collections of geometric forms, a hurricane similator (which went up to 80mph) and creating geometic shapes with an interactive light exhibit, (which reminded me of Harold and the Purple Crayon)drawing and creating a world with a light marker!
Our family had so much fun. We also visited the Natural History Museum while there, which was also free that day. We enjoyed a giant pendulum, the dinosaurs, fossils, & the Polar Exhibit. There is also an exhibit about the Infrastructure of our Water System which we found very informative.
Lots of interesting, fun and interactive exhibits to see at both of the museums. Also, a great place to cool off on a hot and/or humid afternoon with the family.
Have a great week!
Your Soaring Mama,
Mandy
