Discovery Place in NY

For the kid who LOVES to eat, it came as no surprise that he needed TWO carts at the grocery store!!
Aiden, shopping for produce. He put lots of apples in his cart!
Shaelyn broadcasting the news at the TV news center. There was actually a TV screen that broad casted her picture live!
While on vacation in NY we took the kids to Discovery Place. It was fantastic!! It had everything imaginable for the kids to do. There was even a mock grocery store with tiny little shopping carts and fake food. The kids could "shop" and then take their purchases to the cashier for payment with fake money. The register was Shae's favorite as it really worked and she actually got to scan every one's groceries. There was a bank, a restaurant, an real ambulance, firetruck and fighter jet (indoors) for the kids to get in and experience. They got to dig for fossils, stand inside of a giant bubble, play in a fake hair salon and art studio. They even got to dress in tux coats and perform on stage at "Broadway". Outside of this Discovery Place they had Peter Rabbits Garden with real vegetables that the kids could water. They got to go inside of a Victorian doll house, and even visit the 3 bears cottage. Needless to say, it was an wonderful experience for the kids! I actually enjoyed it too:)

My kids love that place. We have gone there almost every summer that we have gone home. Unfortunately we don't get to go home this summer. I am so bummed about that. Looks like your youngins had lots of fun. Christine
