Discovery Children's Museum

Due to a couple of nice days, Kane and I have been able to get out and enjoy the parks in our area.  Today was rainy and snowy so it was a perfect day to head to the Discovery Children's Museum at The Gateway in Salt Lake.  We had a really good time, I see many more visits in our future.


 The first exhibit you come to has tons of balls and tons of different tubes that you can send them through either by dropping them, or by putting them in a tube that has air that shoots them up.  It was very cool.  There was also other exhibits, like the ball popper Kane is at in the picture.  He dug it.


 Kane enjoyed climbing in the cars that they had on display but he would always sit backward.  He still sits in his car seat facing backward, so maybe he thinks that is the normal way to sit.


 This water area was popular with all the kids, and Kane was no exception, he loved it.  He is a water bug anyway so it was no surprise he was drawn to the water exhibit.


 This garden area had plastic potatoes, carrots, lettuce, and onions.


Kane carried a potato throughout the museum, and tried to eat it a few times.  Such a silly boy!


Kane's in a boat, and that is how he got in too, he crawled.


Kane looked at this girl like she was crazy when she was trying to help him open and shut the refrigerator.  You could tell he didn't want any help.


Kane LOVED this area!  He walked up, crawled up, walked down, crawled down, and slid down this slope, he was obsessed.  I think we could have spent our entire visit here.


This area had magnets of all different types.  Kane tried to take two home, he wasn't happy when I put them back.
Here are a few videos I took.  I was so proud watching Kane walking up the ramp.  He really has great balance.  I got a kick out of the last two videos.  He definitely figures out how to get where he wants to go.



We had a fantastic visit.  I look forward to summer when we come down to this area of town and Kane can play in the outside water area at The Gateway after a visit to the museum.  This is such a fun age!

  1. This would be fun to take the Garcia's to! And of course, since I love all the kids (and adults) involved, I would have fun, too! :-)
