I tagged along with my daughter to check out the Museum of Natural Curiosity at Thanksgiving Point. She has a season pass so I got in for half price! Woot! <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Thanksgiving Point Museums are the best! The Museum of Natural Curiosity is very creative and captivating for almost any kid (even big kids like me!) I loved this replica of the water tower out front. Wouldn’t this be adorable in your yard? I’m gonna talk it up to the hubs.  \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n

They have stuff for 1 year olds to enjoy! This water table looks like you’d get wet, but you DON’T! It’s amazing! <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The girls were building roads for the water to pass through….it was fun to watch them get into it! <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
I think the water area is the most fun of all at the Museum of Natural Curiosity. But the Rainforest area seemed like Tom Sawyer’s Island at Disneyland. It came in a close second place! <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Lots of things to turn and spin and lots of hands on fun! <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The girls played oin this wet area for a good while. It was fun. They had galoshes you could wear because everybody’s feet get kind of wet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
This was a tornado tunnel. The kids spin the crank and a mist tornado appears out of nowhere! <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
It was very cool! OOOOHHH   AWWWWW! <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Dylan liked the kiddie play areas. They were spread out everywhere so he had fun too climbing, sliding, putting the balls into the holes and watching them roll out again. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
“Where should we go next grandma?”  (I don’t know I’m already pooped after climbing around on the rope bridges!)  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Yup. He’s a good climber. Lots of places to roll around with those of your kind (1 year olds….) \ud83d\ude00 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Then there was an amazing climbing wall and an Amazon area of just slides, rope bridges, ropes courses and ladders galore. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Then there were the educational exhibits. Marisa loved seeing all the animal xrays. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
You could take a stuffed animal and set him on the machine and push the button and the machine would xray and show you the dog’s bones. It was very cute and very popular! <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Here are a bunch of kids xraying cats and dogs and mice. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Megan liked the train car area where you make a little train go around a big track just near the ceiling. Fun! <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Then we went out back to go see the pond and the ducks and the caves and the Noah’s Ark splash pad. I was pretty beat by then. The kids wanted Slurpees. I wanted Pizza. It was a beautiful Utah afternoon. I highly recommend it! The snack bar was great too as was the gift shop. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
