We quickly learned that the Museum of Natural History was a perfect place for our family. It had all of the things we enjoy most: Gems, Dinosaurs, animals, and places to learn. We spent several hours there and could have been there even longer! The exhibits were done thoroughly and expertly. Each gallery we spent time admiring, reading and learning. And as we walked to other galleries they were just as well done!
It was fun to see some of the details both Muggles have been learning about this last few weeks in a way that was tactile, colorful, and in-depth. For Lucky Dragon (thanks to watching Will Smith's Earth and the volcano in Tonga) he has been asking detailed questions about the Earth's crust, planets, the size of the Sun, etc. It was so much fun to walk through the gallery about plate tectonics, planets, meteors etc. For Koala Bear, she was so excited to see all the animals in the hibernation and adaptation section. She has been learning so much about that at school and this helped give a visual to that learning.
What a tremendous opportunity to be here and further education in an amazing way.
We loved the GEM section of the museum. Because we all love gems. It was fun to not only see all the of the gems from around the world, but see how they are made and the science behind them.
I thought it was cool to see what a rough diamond looks like compared to a cut diamond.
Lady Hiva and Koala Bear were able to run into one of our favorite missionaries serving right now while they were at the Air and Space Museum. So thankful for a chance to have our kids see him sacrifice and serve others.
