Once a month, kids and parents get into the Delaware Children's Museum for just $2 apiece. These Community Access Nights, held from 5 to 8 p.m., are the museum's way of giving back to the area's families. Like on any typical day at the museum, clans can still explore the hands-on exhibits that teach kids about everything from science to money management.
Many parents sing the praises of the ECOnnect section of the museum, where little ones can get acquainted with the way Mother Nature works. Kids can stroke starfish, crabs, fish, and even stingrays and small sharks in the 600-gallon Touch Tank Aquarium or splash and learn at the stream table. The museum's other features include a massive playground for climbing called the Stratosphere, a kid-sized ATM as part of Bank On It, and rotating exhibits that change with the seasons.
