This was a cool exhibit that the boys all really liked. It is a heavy barrel hanging from a pole and on the side of the railing there are strings with magnets on them. You are supposed to usse the magnet to get the barrel moving back and forth. It was difficult for them and they semi succeeded a few times, but they really enjoyed trying this.
This was Carlos's favorite exhibit. It seemed every exhibit we went to he would disappear. The first few times we panicked, but after a while we just knew where to find him. If you cannot tell, this was made with pullies in mind. He was able to attach the big hook clip to whatever block he wanted to and then use the handle to real the rope up. When the block was reeled all the way to the top, he got to let go of the wheel and watch the block fall to the floor. Four people could do this at a time. I found it very interesting that it was his favorite, even though he was not able to reach the handle to turn the wheel. None the less, I wish we had one of these at our house.
They all loved the firehouse and the tractors of course.
Also well loved, a lego version of the Pinewood derby.
They got to make their own cars and then race them down the track.
The bucket was Levi's favorite part of the entire museum!!
He sat here for a long time going into the bucket and then popping out.
Other favorite exhibits.
There was also an extremely cool playset that was three stories high with a spiral slide coming down through the middle and several strategic locations with a catapult to launch soft blocks. Underneath the bottom floor there was a collection of several ropes swings and tire swings the kids could play on. It was another one of those exhibits I would love to have in my home. Beats McDonald's playland any day!!
