McKenna Children’s Museum: Splash, Play and Learn

July 16, 2015 1:33 pm

If you've visited the water table at McKenna Children's Museum before with your brood and enjoyed splashing around, it's time to plan a repeat visit. The museum's outdoor water table recently underwent a full makeover, so there are even more aquatic features to explore than there were before.

Help kids take aim at targets with high-powered squirt guns and watch while they let it rip. Face off against your own youngsters at the boat racing ramp. Step back while they play at the fishing pond, ogle the bucket conveyor belt, or dip their fingers in the drops being circulated by the water wheel.

The water table is just one example of the way McKenna Children's Museum makes learning fun and accessible for all kids. Other exhibits teach about more than science. Little ones can learn about money, for instance, at the pint-sized ATM with and bank. They can pilot a space rocket, pick up faux fruits and veggies at the kid-sized grocery store, or even get behind the wheel of an ambulance.
