A day at Exploration Place
We had enough energy to actually go to Exploration place today. It was really fun. They are having their last weekend at a “Making Monster’s” traveling exhibit that demonstrates how they make monsters for movies, and lots of actual props from movies. As usually, an interactive exhibit. I snapped a photo and then noticed the “no photos” sign, so I sheepishly put the camera back in my bag. Whoops!
Then we ran around the castle. It was the first time in a long time I had the energy to deal with all the stairs everywhere. It is a really neat play area.
This is a room we always spend time in. It is Kansas in Miniature, with every county represented by at least one structure or landmark. I inadvertently got the building that represents my hometown in this shot as Zora watched the trains.
What every sensory seeking kid loves
It must have been near feeding time because all the various critters were awake and active. This bull snake kept following the kid’s movements as the watched it and made it perfectly clear why there is also a closed top on the cage.
A favorite…the water maze table (shows how hydro power works). When we came to it, the kids before had basically built damms and the balls couldn’t move through the course. Zane studied it for a while, then moved about 3 pieces at different points, making it work again, then smiled and walked away. Zora just kept trying to get balls.
