Museums have come a long way, baby. We love the ones that encourage exploration, interaction and good ol' imagination. Our Hulafrog Editors gave us a heads up on the coolest fam-friendly museums across the country. Kid-appeal is key!
Pasadena, CA | kidspacemuseum.org
This is such a unique museum! There's lots of hands-on learning and imaginative play. The outdoor water and mud is squishy, splashy and fun!
Leslie Len Meis, Hulafrog Pasadena, CA, & mom of two
Fort Lauderdale, FL | mods.org
My son would live in this museum if he could. They've got flight simulators, rocket ships to Mars, live sea otters, prehistoric mammals and a fossil dig — just to name a few! A+ experience.
