"Museum" may be a little misleading. This place has a great balance of fun and learning. Not in the least bit stuffy or inaccessible.There are two levels of rooms to explore, each playfully devoted to different concepts. There's a bank where kids sort, count and learn about money, a play grocery store, post office and restaurant - perfect for those little mimics to get their hands on!
Fire equipment to try on, a dress-up theater, a treehouse, a room to learn about bones, your health & your body, a schoolhouse, a construction site full of blocks and building materials... and on and on...
$6 per person, children under 1 are free.
(Be advised: Strollers are not allowed)

Hi! I just came across your blog from google. I see you haven't written in awhile, but hope you do sometime again- I'm finding it informative! I googled "toddler activities around the capital district" as I'm looking for some things for my daughter to partake in (she's 3) and found quite a lot through your site. I've bookmarked it. Thanks!
