bay area discovery museum

Today we joined the Bay Area Discovery Museum, which means we'd better bring Charli back here a lot. Actually, with this membership we can also get into 2 other kids' museums in the bay area, as well as a pile of other museums throughout the country, so we don't have to bring Charli ONLY to the one in Marin (although it's very nice, and we wouldn't mind).

The Discovery Museum isn't really much of a museum (translation: boring for adults), it's mostly just kid oriented play stuff, which is really pretty good. There are a lot of different areas catering to kids of different ages, there's indoor and outdoor parts, and best of all, it isn't too crowded. There's a room with all these sort of waterbed things you can crawl around on, and another room with structures you can climb through, and an art room for kids under 5 and another for kids over 5. There are all these buttons around that kids can press and they make animal or insect noises. Charli had a fabulous time, as you can tell from this video.



There's also a little cafe, but we have no idea how the food is because it closes much earlier than the actual museum does. However, we did manage to get the last cheese sandwich (yuck), as well as a PB&J and a banana - which gives us the opportunity for more banana face pictures. Brian took this one. :)
