So said Archimedes. At least that seems to be the case at attractions here. Visiting even the best science museums with kids can be problematical. These places try not only to get kids to think but also to excite their senses with staggering dollops of interactivity. This usually is great fun, but there can be downsides.
Long lines form for the cool movie.
Kids ultimately may not share your wonder at the process by which blood is oxygenated. That means parents should approach these museums with patience. Try not to force younger kids to take too much in or to sit still while you read the text on every panel. There's plenty of value in this kind of exploration, even if it isn't precisely what the designers had in mind. When they're older, your kids will be well prepared for more in-depth lessons.
