A place must visiting with kids
It's just the right way of teaching kids about the history and events that led to the arrest of Parks and what was to follow. The bus shaped time machine is a great way to anchor the kids to their seats. The other presentation of what happened on the bus is also a great way of keeping kids focused. Do pay attention to the fact that the two exhibitions/activities are on different parts of the building, so don't miss that. Also don't miss the sign outside marking her arresting spot.

Great Museum
We enjoyed our visit to the Rosa Parks museum. This is a great example of modern museum design. There's a video overview and then you step into a room with a 1950s era bus that continues the multimedia story of Rosa Parks. You then continue on through the museum. Don't miss the small signs with a phone number that you can call for additional narration at each "stop" in the museum.
