The NEW Sacramento Children's Museum

Yesterday we went to the new Sacramento Children's Museum with our younger grandson.   When you enter you are told that the kids are the guides - and indeed they are.    We spent about two hours in all sorts of venues.  There are some science experiments and some places like the one above which is a recreation of a store (the type changes every few months - currently a Japanese store - in December it was Mexican).  It is unclear whether some of the other exhibits will change over time.  There is a water play area, a painting area, a couple of opportunities to dress up in various professions, a solar project, a couple of elementary motion experiments and a flow project which uses a clear tube system to move things around like scarves and soft balls.

The colors are bright and cheery and our grandson seemed to have a wonderful time.  It is a superb new resource for kids in the city.
