Hi Everyone…Hope all of you are having a nice week.I am still sailing through the week waiting for the long weekend.
Today’s topic is about a Children’s museum that we visited on Saturday with our kids and friends. It is is Austin and is called “Thinkery”. Around 3 weeks back if you had asked me what is thinkery? I would have not had an answer. Recently one of our friends visited this place and told us about it. It is a real cool place that I recommend everyone in Austin to visit it with their kids. The building looks like this

There are so many fun activities for the kids. My kids are 3 1/2 years and 1 1/2 years old. I was surprised that they had fun things for most age groups to work on. I would like to highlight some of the fun activities that we did
*As soon as we entered there were some train tracks that my daughter loved.

*There were glass walls that the kids could paint and then spray water and clean it, the kids loved it.
*There were many wooden blocks that was painted with magnetic paint that could stick on the walls. The kids can use their imagination to build blocks on the walls.
*The market place was a lot of fun, the kids could buy wax carrots, peaches, onions . My son bought all the fruits and veggies.

*Upstairs there are so many water activities, there were drums and water droplets that falls on them made sound.

*There was also a pump mechanism that filled the containers with water when you turn a knob and then splash when the container is full. My son loved it and was doing it again and again.
*After that we just visited the dark room with lot of small lights and frozen shadows.
*Then we went to the backyard where they had fun in the small pool.
We really loved the place. We also got a annual membership that allows unlimited visit for 4 person for 95$.One good thing about the membership was , it was valid for a year from the month of purchase rather than a fixed 12 month period like Jan-Dec.We enjoyed seeing our kids smile and have fun. The 3 hours we were there flew away and it was very tiring for us and the kids. Kids slept well that night :). I think every city should have a children’s museum that makes kids think. Yes, thinkery is wonderful and I recommend parents in Austin to take their kids at least once to enjoy the wonderful experience. To know more information visit thinkery website.
