This will be most fun if a group of children go to see it together. A little television news station is set up here with two cameras, a news desk, a weather map, and plenty of televisions to see what is created. The cameras have some special effect controls that kids will love, and if a group of kids are industrious enough, they can create their own mock news show. But despite some of the jigsaw puzzles and art, we saw more kids running around on this colorful floor than reading the stories on the walls. The museum takes advantage of this in some instances, but not as well in others.
Parents can either read to their children there or sit in on one of the story hours.
Who Should Go CMOM is targeted primarily at children ages 2 through 10. In fact, when we went there, most of the visitors were parents with children younger than seven. Parents should keep this in mind because although the museum has a wonderful array of activities for younger children, in all probability, older kids will feel out of place here. This museum is well worth the time and money. Kids can be here for a good portion of the day and still have plenty of things to do.
