Montshire Museum of Science

Located in Norwich, Vermont along the Connecticut River, the Montshire Museum of Science is known for its hands on exhibits of interest to every age group.


In July 2007 my daughter Emily had her wedding reception there and guests had access to all the fun exhibits.  Emily & her husband have a yearly membership now and enjoy taking their two daughters there especially in the winter when its too cold or wet to play outside.


When we visited last week it was a very rainy day -  a perfect day for the Montshire.



The bubble making exhibit.


2 year old L used to be very afraid of bubbles.  Not any more.
 


Granddaughter A got to participate in an experiment.


There was an exhibit on musical instruments.



None of us could pass up putting scarves into this mechanism and catching them when they puffed out from various spots.  L caught one.


Then there are the fish and turtles and frogs.










Dan got hands and feet on several exhibits.



A fun morning.

...and here we have a anti science administration. This is all fake news.

It really is a wonderful place!! My little grandchildren have gone many times (and we with them for quite a few), and they just love it. So much for all ages. And the outside is great fun, too. I love that they had their reception there! Such a great idea.

Museums are so much fun these days. They were so boring when I was a child. This one looks particularly good with so many hands on exhibits.

Science centres are so much fun for all ages these days and hopefully encourages kids to study Science later in life.
