We were looking for a fun family outing this past weekend...one that wouldn't be packed with 3-day weekenders (like the beach) and would preferably be inside since it was supposed to be hot. At the last minute I remembered hearing about a temporary exhibit hosted by the Discovery Center called Math Midway. All I knew was that it was a hands-on, family friendly exhibition centered around making math fun. It sounded like it met our requirements, so we headed out for an afternoon of learning. I had no idea that we would end up having such a great time! The kids were so excited to be allowed, and even encouraged, to touch everything. They had a chance to ride a square-wheeled tricycle, make music with the "Organ FUNCTION Grinder", and play a laser harp, just to name a few. They even had volunteers at each station that were there to help and to educate. This is a wonderful outing for kids of all ages. I think daddy and I loved it as much as brother and sister.
