Feel like a child

Today we went to the Cincinnati Children's Museum. This museum is not a normal museum - it's an interactive one. For instance, the children can learn several things about technology, nature, other cultures, and physics through learning by doing there.

The whole museum is a huge playground that combines activities with seperate themes with special designs, so the kids can imagine, that they are in a cave, because it looks like a cave. There are also special stages for the different ages of the children, e.g. some climbing activities in the cave are especially designed for children, who are in the preschool age. This section was for older and younger kids.
A station for older kids of the age from 6 until 9 was the cultural section. The kids there could inform the different clutlures, fit the clothes from native americans, or playing with some instruments from other cultures.

In my opinion, the water stage was the best stage at the museum. This was a huge watercycle, where the kids could follow boats they set into the water and do some other activities.
These boats passed different passage: a rain passage, the watergate, the fan station, and so on. On each stage the children had to do some activities. For instance, on the watergate they had to put boards into the feature, if they want to sunk the boat.
The other activities were a simple kind of a watermill and the opportunity to design a pipelinesystem. Most of the kids stayed beneath the pipelinesystem and played at this stage with the boats and the fountains. That's a pity, because they could learn more on this watercycle, especially at the pipelinestation.
This also depends on the parents. Some of them took a walkthrough with the kids at these station and some just sit on the bench near the station and watched the children playing.
