Children's Treasure Find in a Small College Town
We have visited several very well-equipped children's museums in large metropolitan areas that do not hold a candle to this small-town-but-first-rate children's museum. There are many fun and educational organized programs sprinkled throughout the year that are child-centered yet highly engaging for the supervising adults as well. When there are not ongoing special seasonal programs, the museum is a large open space of highly intriguing developmental learning centers which double as just-for-play centers depending on the child's age and imagination. Children can grocery shop, visit the veterinarian, dig in the dinosaur dig sandbox, run NASA's Command Control Center or be the astronaut on the rocket, dress up and perform on a stage, investigate how bones work by observing a mock skeleton ride a bicycle, pretend to fly an airplane in a real fuselage, work in a restaurant, "ride" on a tractor, see how a cow's double stomach works, build with Lincoln logs, do a little rock climbing, investigate gravity with balls rolling on slanted tracks, pretend with a whole host of puppets, or ride on a hand-crank child-sized train "engine." There is more, but you should just go to see it and experience it for yourself! My grandchildren, their parents, and we never tire of visiting this museum. Excellent value for the admission fee.

The Northeast Texas Children's Museum is Full of Fun and Learning!
Our family recently visited the Northeast Texas Children's Museum with some young cousins. The facility itself is older, but the exhibits are fresh and new. The kids enjoyed playing in the veterinary hospital, shopping for groceries, watching the electric train exhibit, and playing in the bubble room. Other exhibits include musical instruments, dress-up clothes, the body of an old airplane, and quite a few puzzle and blocks activities. The museum also offers frequent camps in the summer that cater to many different kind of interests as well as special events like a Daddy-Daughter dance. If you're in northeast Texas, this is a great way to stimulate your child's mind while they have fun!
