That looks like a lot of fun, but not in a setting I'd expect - where were you?

It was held at our son's school. They had each class come through during the day and had it stay open in the evening for a couple of hours so families could attend. It was fun to go to something where they could touch everything without having to worry.

It looks like a traveling museum. Pretty cool.

It seems to me that we once had something like this at our school as well. I remember that it was a lot of fun for the kids and really encouraged them to want to know more. It looks like you all had a good time.
