While Mom and Dad were here we decided to visit the Museum of Natural Science at Sugar Land. This museum has been on our hit list for sometime. This is actually the closest Museum to us, so its funny that it took us so long to get to. While this is not as big as the downtown Museum, it did not disappoint. There were several things for Brenna to enjoy. I actually thought it was alittle more kid-friendly with all its exhibits and hands-on experiment stations. Not to mention less crowded and easier to manage with smaller children.
We all tested our skills at the Discovery Works experiments. We enjoyed seeing Dinosaur Discovery. Brenna liked exploring the Animal Secrets exhibit with its caves, trees, rivers, marshes, and naturalist tent. We took time out to see Earth's Wild Ride on their Digital Dome Theater. They have several different shows a day. Earth's Wild Ride was set sometime in the future as a Grandfather describes Earth's past to his grandchildren as they view it from their vantage point on the moon, where they live now. The actual dome theater is inflated from within with air and you lie on your backs on the floor (although there were seat available along the edges of the theater) and view the movie projected on the inside of the dome to give a 180 degree prospective. It was very neat! And finally before we ended our day we visited The Dig Pit where kids were equipped with shovels, buckets, and brushes to make their own dinosaur discoveries.
