Kid City!

We have been meaning to get down to Middletown CT to a great kid's museum/playplace that we had heard of and we finally made it this past weekend. We have been, and dragged the boys to a lot of different places geared for kids but this one was really amazing. Every single kid in there was having a great time- and it was pretty entertaining for parents as well. Part of the philosophy of the business is actually to provide a place that makes it easy to play with your young kids and get involved. All the exhibits were very tastefully done by a small group of local artists and there was a ton of stuff to do for all different levels- we could have spent the whole time in just one of the areas-
James particularly liked the trains of course:


There were several places you could crawl under and poke your head through the scene and watch everything move around you- very cool.
Kat and James on the see-saw in the Tibetan room; lots of instruments and gongs built into the walls:
