Discovery Museum Part 2, the second floor

Right before we left we went into the art studio and painted with fall colors.
This stem lab has never really been open when we have gone before, so it was fun to see someone making science experiments!
The majority of the second floor is being remodeled to do this huge miniature train area. It is MASSIVE. It will be really cool when it is done, but you couldn't go in there yet, so I took a picture from afar.
More experiments.

Adeline LOVED these balance bikes. She and Evelyn were a little too big for them, but Adeline especially loved zooming around the sports area on one.

And last year when we went the weather had the outdoor helicopter area closed. They have taken down all the hospital area (not sure why?) so now it is just the two little helicopters.

But the landing area microphone was working this time so you could talk to the people inside the lifeflight helicopter which was fun.


Lunch break.
Building the lego cars for races.


Hanging out reading HUGE picture books in this fun little room.


We spent a decent amount of time in the dinosaur area. We hadn't really done much in there before, but the girls LOVED pretending to be scientists and looking in the lab. It was fun to see their imaginations are still good :)

Studying different things under a microscope and trying to label them.

Showing me their different lab specimens. I wasn't a true scientist so I couldn't really do anything in the lab they told me :)

Working to find different bones and label them.



More work in the lab.
Out on the working lab area. Thanks, Discovery and PBS! It was a fun visit of several hours and I still had to pry them away :)
