Maryland Science Center

As part of our wonderful weekend in Baltimore we spent the day at the Maryland Science Center. It is a great hands on museum for kids (and adults). They have a fun kids area for 8 and under with a Chesapeake Bay theme - complete with a fishing boat, submarine and water play area. It was really hard to drag the kids away for the rest of the museum. But, there was still fun to be had in Newton's Ally where the kids learned about cause and effect:



The Planetarium (Abby's very first! Peter had fun showing her the ropes and telling her about the "robot" that makes the stars. He even held her hand in case she got scared.):



And the Bone Dig. (Note the safety goggles, the MSC is somewhat obsessive about the safety goggles.)
There was also a special exhibit called "Grossology" where we learned about the body in graphic detail...including a playground area for kids mimicking the digestive system allowing the kids to travel from the mouth to...er.....well, you know.
