What To Do: We visited the museum on a free day, which was perfect! Our first stop was in the Children play space. Calvin had a chance to camp out in a tent overlooking the stars, test out space machinery, become an astronaut, slide down a slide, find space materials and more! There’s a ton of exhibits you can experience as well such as; “Our Solar System”, “Community Design Labs”, “The Universe: A Walk Through Space & Time”. When Calvin gets a bit older, (currently 2yrs old) we will definitely pay for the full experience which will allow him to truly take advantage of the what the exhibits entail .
Where To Park: Coming from the south suburbs in the winter, I decided to drive and stay warm. To be honest, the 1 hour drive and parking was not bad at all. We arrived approximately 10:30 am and there was plenty of street parking. The street parking was $2 per hour and we stayed for 2 hours, just in time for baby Calvin’s nap.
