Let's start with the fact that the museum is free. Most museums don't keep a 6 and 9 year old interested for a long period of time, but my children didn't want to go because this wing is really designed for them. There are hands on labs on each floor, where they can don lab coats, look through microscopes, and - their favorite - an experiment in which they have to determine which liquid is iodine and which is colored water.
Plus, it was Marine Mammal Day, so the museum had guests from the NC Aquarium and we were touching and learning about things like whale bones.
A salute to another true gem for our region. Incidentally, we went to see "Wreck It Ralph" afterwards and it's the best family movie I've seen since up - a terrific 80's nostalgia trip that's maybe more fun for the parents than the kids!!
