Fieldtrip 101: Kidspace Children's Museum

This is my first post on a series of places to take the kids in or around Southern California.

Today LC and I visited Kidspace Children's Museum in Pasadena. It's approximately a 75 minute drive from home base.

I'm not gonna lie- when I got there, I was slightly disappointed in the size of it. The website makes it seem a lot larger, but don't let the actual size fool you. They pack a lot of fun into a small space. 

LC had fun digging dino fossils, climbing up raindrop towers, observing bugs and playing in their water features. Be prepared to get involved with your kids here and explain to them the wonders of a bee colony, a vortex and the scents of different plants in a garden (like Peppermint).




A bonus feature is the park that surrounds the museum. It has plenty of space for a nice picnic lunch and a wonderful playground to tire their little butts out!
