[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish we had an actual children's museum. Most other cities have awesome children's museums and I don't understand why we don't![/quote]

I know! We drive to Fredericksburg to play at their branch of the children's museum of Richmond. It's in a strip mall and nothing great, but it's more than we have here for sure.[/quote]

Are there any DC natives here who remember the Children's Museum in the 1980's?  Oh my gosh it was amazing.  It was in a rough-ish neighborhood.  Either SE or NE?  My grandmother used to drive me there from MoCo and it was so much fun.  They had a gigantic indoor maze, a room with slanted floors, a firemen dress up room with climbing stuff, some sort of early washing machine with a crank.  I think there was a Native American themed arts and crafts room.  I miss it so much on behalf of my little kids.  Luckily, we get to drive up to Pittsburgh every so often to visit my DH's family and they have a great children's museum too.

Never tried the Playseum.[/quote]

Glad you like it!  I worked at the capital children's museum when I was in college, it's always nice to hear people with good memories from the place.  You're probably remembering the Mexico exhibit-- where I worked;). [/quote]

I too have such fond memories of that place. The Mexican hot chocolate in the Mexico exhibit was awesome! I grew up in MoCo and spent a lot of time there and lots of school field trips. I really wish there was something similar to it in the D.C. Area. [/quote]

yes- I remember this.  LOVED going there.  Really loved the maze with the curtain thingies.[/quote]
