Children’s museums are now in many different cities and towns. Why should you take your children to visit one? The benefits are many and varied!

A museum provides many educational benefits. It teaches about art, history, science, technology - just about everything. It helps your children to become more observant and ask questions as well as make commentary about the things around them. And, it also improves their reading skills as there is a lot of reading involved.
It stimulates hands-on play. Children get to look, explore, touch, and play. They utilize motorized skills that are so critical to their development.
When children interact with pieces in the exhibits, they become more curious, and their minds are stimulated to learn more. When your children ask questions about an exhibit or a particular piece, answer them to the best of your ability. Be sure to never make something up. If you do not know the answer, ask for assistance from one of the curators.
It fosters family bonding and togetherness. You spend time with your children looking and then asking questions. Even adults can often learn too! When you leave, be sure to continue the discussion with your children. Ask them questions about the exhibits such as which one they liked the best and why?
It makes children happy. They are excited to look with such wonder and touch to learn more. For them, it is a fun-filled place to explore.
