Fun Museums for the Child in all of Us
If you are bringing young ones on your visit to San Francisco, you've probably wracked your brain trying to
find activities and events that will not only be fun for them but also provide much needed mental stimuli as
well. Well, look no further. I have five museums that are guaranteed to be completely kid friendly and fun
for the entire family.
Gone are the days of stuffy museums that are cold and unfeeling. These museums of old have been replaced
with modern day museums that offer areas that encourage hands on activities and promote learning and
education through activities that are well disguised as fun. Your children will have no idea what just
happened and you will be able to rest comfortable in the knowledge that this event that they considered so
much fun will remain with them for a long time to come. Knowledge is a great gift to pass on to your
children, especially when they don't realize what it is that you are giving them.
The first of these museums is the Cartoon Art Museum. You may wonder what your children can possibly
learn from a museum such as this, but as with all art, comics often imitate life and this museum shows how
comics have evolved and morphed over time. In addition to that, anything that will encourage your children
to read is a good thing in my opinion, even if it is comics that they are reading.
Next, there is the Bay Area Discovery Museum. This museum offers hands on entertainment for children of
all ages. While most exhibits are designed with children ages 1-10 in mind, there are plenty of activities and
exhibits that will appeal to older children as well as those entertaining the notion of a second childhood. This
museum offers many activities and adventures both indoors and out that will appeal to your children while
teaching them about other creatures, cultures, technology, and the world at large around them. This is
definitely worth having a look. Be sure to check and see if there are any events being offered while you are
visiting.
If the Bay Area Discovery Museum isn't enough to get your little one's creative juices flowing and put you
all into the supreme spirit of learning, then perhaps you should check out Zeum. Zeum is a multimedia arts
and technology museum. By allowing visitors to hands on use of their equipment they are fostering
imagination and igniting curiosity in the young minds of their guests. This is definitely unique enough for a
closer look. I hope it spikes your inner techno guru as completely as it reached mine.
There are many more places than this that you can visit in San Francisco that offer an equal spark for the
minds and imaginations of your little ones. But the fact remains that you know your child's interests and
talents better than anyone else. Find those things that will appeal to each child's personality and that above
anything else will make this trip special for him or her.
I also believe that it is important to allow your children an opinion on what to do and see while on vacation.
You may be surprised to find the things that will appeal to them as well as the fact that they really do on
occasion think about what you as a parent want for them. By giving choices and a voice you are teaching
your children that they are important to you and that their opinion matters.
