Our Little Archeologist

Dayton has more than just laundromats. Although the laundromat was truly a hit, we continued our exploration of Dayton at Boonshoft Museum of Discovery. It was full of exhibits and learning activities geared to preschoolers and young children. We all loved it! Here, you can see our little archeologist brushing for dinosaur fossils...

...exploring life as a turtle...
...and discovering animal habitats.
There was so much to see and do that speeding through it in 2 hours really wasn't the best way to experience it, but at the same time we had lunch on our minds and naps to be taken. And our little archeologist found some areas to be worth spending half and hour in, while others not worth stopping.

Boonshoft "Top 5" list (by a 4-year old's report):

.5. Wild Ohio live animal exhibit

.4. Indoor playland

.3. Gravity: Build-it-better-yourself ball maze

.2. Water power with levees and dams

.1. Digging for dinosaur fossils

If you ever find yourself in Dayton with preschoolers, the Boonshoft Discovery Museum should make your "Must-do" list.
