Today was a trip 40 minutes from home to an interactive science museum. First up, a 3D iMax movie about prehistorice sea monsters. It was really cool and they even had headsets that gave us the story in English.
The complex is as large as any NY state university campus I've been on. I could not believe how vast it was. There was even an actual submarine on-site.
After lunch, which was from a fast-food pasta stand, we went upstairs to see the exhibits. Our first hour was spent trying out a lot of exhibits that were very similar to the Exploratorium in SF. A little disappointed, we went back through and found a few more fun and different exhibits.
The best of which involved learning all about food and how to determine the best kinds to buy, where food comes from, etc. There were lots of hands-on activities that Isabella loved.
We also spent some time in the math area, though the English translations were not quite clear enough for us to grasp (yes, us, I, too found it confusing, no surprise there, what with my math-challenged background and all), but enough of it made sense to Isabella that she figured out what infinity means.
The last stop on our tour was the space exhibit which again, was huge, and a little hard to grasp, but very interesting.
After our ride back, we really needed a crepe. Good thing the stand downstairs was open and a Nutella crepe was available immediately!
