[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]take your kids to the postal museum! I know that sounds really strange, but I think they will both love it. There is a big rig they can “drive” that my 3 and 5 yr olds were obsessed with. There’s a mail sorting activity and a package throwing/sorting activity and big table with markers to color on.

I don’t know about food but it’s right next to union station[/quote]

The postal museum is a hidden gem. My kids still talk about the taxidermy dog with all the tags on his jacket. [/quote]

Yes! It sounds like it would be lame, but my kids love it. We used to do a different museum every Friday. Postal Museum and American History were the biggest hits (though if the play area is closed at the latter, skip it, because that was the best part) followed by American Indian. I enjoyed the food at the American Indian Museum, but my kids weren’t excited.

Our most successful days followed this pattern: arrive at the museum just as it opened, tour and do the play areas, then have a picnic lunch at the Botanic Gardens or nearby park. Then home. By that time, we were tired and the museums were super crowded. We never did more than one in a day unless we combined an indoor place with an outdoor one-the carousel or the garden.[/quote]
