It's a lot like Discovery Gateway, except they have this wonderful little place for kids 6 and under. It was GREAT! Kyler could explore all he wanted and didn't have to worry about being run over by a big kid. He started at the playdoh table. He'd never played with playdoh before so it was very interesting. The ladies at the table (employee's) had so much fun showing him all kinds of neat things he could do. He loved it.
Then on to the most popular activity for the day, the water table. Kyler could have stayed here all day, it never got old. Brian and I decided we are going to have one of these in our back yard, simple, yet oh so fun. I think Brian had just as much fun as Kyler.
It was fun watching Kyler learn new things. He's growing so fast, and he catches on to things like lightening.
He was in love with this shopping cart. Once he discovered it, he took it with him every where he went.
They had this barn with "animals" sticking out of them, you could push the button under the animal and it would make it's sound. Kyler was terrified of it. He'd get brave and pet it, but the minute the button was pushed....run away!
At lunch time we went to a place called Rock Bottom for lunch, it was fun to walk the streets of downtown Charlotte, even if it was a bit rainy. Then we went back to the museum and watched a short kids film called Fly Me to the Moon on their IMAX dome theatre. It was pretty cool, the dome really made it feel like you were moving, the thing was HUGE! Kyler was scared, mostly because of the loud sounds, but he held on to me tight for 10 minutes, and then zonked! So he even got nap while we were there. It was perfect. Then we explored the upstairs, everything from a rain forest, to the circus, to lots of fun fish tanks. Kyler loved this mirror triangle, he'd turn his head and laugh, and turn his head and laugh, it was great.
We got home, ate dinner and all went to bed. It was a great day, no temper tantrums, just lots of good wholesome fun!

That looks like a great day and so much fun!!
I had thought that Grant was too young to really enjoy our children's museum, but after seeing how much fun Kyler had at yours, we'll have to take him soon.
