At the end of last year, I bought a membership to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Some friends with small children recommended it over the zoo since it can be too hot to go to the zoo during the summer. The first time we went was when Brenda and family were out for Christmas. We took the whole day and got to see the dinosaur exhibit that was there in addition to all the regular stuff. I took the Monday off after Easter and Alexis and I went to the zoo so I didn't want to do that again this weekend so we decided to head to the museum and see the new Lizards and Snakes exhibit. Best part of my pass- got in free for this visit (I am already ahead on the price I paid for the membership so now it really is free :) ) and then we went right up to the Lizards and Snakes, walked through the Prehistoric exhibit that we skipped last time and then went to the Discovery Zone where Alexis could play. I think we were there around 2 hours, had a lot of fun and then came home without being annoyed with people. Since it was free, I didn't feel like I had to see everything to make it count for the visit. Alexis does so well when we are out and we have a lot of fun getting out of the house on the weekends :)
There was a few fun kids things in addition to the lizards and snakes to look at. This one had skulls and eggs and stuff that were hiding under the tiles.
She only liked the snake when his head was up and he was looking at her. As soon as he laid his head down, she was not interested.
Not too sure about the giant fake anaconda on the ground.
Getting a little closer....
"Ok momma, I touched it."
Trying to lift the 100lb anaconda like the other kids were doing :)
Magnet animals at the Discovery Zone
She really, really liked the dinosaurs.
Making scarves fly in the air.
She also really, really liked that all the stools were her height :)
Digging for fossils...
or watching the black sand stuff slowly fall out of her hand
Pretty proud of herself for burying the knee pads.
Silly green screen pictures they offer at the end of the main exhibit :)
