We found a large science museum in Mons, the closest city to us, and decided to give it a try! The language barrier makes things extra exciting here, but it was worth a shot. What a cool place! The kids could touch everything and it was extremely large. We spent about 3 hours there and didn’t quite make it all the way through. It would be so much fun for kids 8+ but even my little ones really enjoyed it. Thankfully, most things were in 3 different languages, French, Dutch, and English. That’s one of my favorite parts about Europe. I love the different languages and cultures all mixed together. The building was so interesting. A LONG tunnel leads you up to the front and then keeps going on passed many little fact boards and experiments. They had moving stairs in case you didn’t want to walk because it was so long! Lots of little play equipment and places for little ones like mine. Tunnels, houses, and building blocks everywhere! One of the highlights was definitely trapping Hyrum in the building blocks. Even dad couldn’t resist burring the baby! Don’t feel too bad, Hyrum loved it… Look at all these cute little chemists working in the lab! It looked like you could have your children do an activity in the lab for an hour or so. Cool! The boys loved putting on the head phones and alternating between French and English “learning”. Haha silly boys! We were impressed by the amount of exhibits and things to do there. It was too much for the attention span of little ones! We’ll have to go back and explore all the things they didn’t have patience for by the end of our 3 hours adventure. We look forward to going back! What a fun way to spend a Saturday in Belgium. ~ Tolman Travels ~ We also love the Zoo! Read about our Zoo adventures here 🙂

Here’s some prices if you can read them! We got a year pass since it was only slightly more than a single ticket!

]]> 2554 Oklahoma City Science Museum – Family day trip to the city! https://tolmantravels.com/2018/04/05/oklahoma-city-science-museum/ Thu, 05 Apr 2018 21:30:50 +0000 https://newlittlelifeblog.com/?p=228 We’ve been talking about going to the OKC Science Museum since we moved here 2 1/2 years ago, but only now that we have a few short months left at Fort Sill did we have the motivation to actually do it! What a fun place for all ages! I can see why it gets so much attention. They have SOO much to learn and do for any age. We all loved it! We went to the Explosions show which Simon loved! We also got to meet Otto the Robot! Simon was really excited about that until he showed up, then he got a little shy (per Simon’s usual). Our FAVORITE thing though was learning to ride Segways! Simon has still been talking about this days later. He never lets us forget that he was “a pro at riding Segways”. He claims he was way better than us but Nick and I were pretty good too! Hyrum is teething (or something) so he wasn’t his usual crazy exploring self but still had a great time. He LOVES touching ANYTHING so this was a great place for him to just explore! He is so full of energy and adventurous which is sometimes exhausting, but I can’t wait to see what he does with his life! He’s really going to be an awesome person if we can just survive his early years 🙂 My favorite part was that they had not one, but TWO different nursing rooms for breastfeeding moms! How wonderful it is to have a place to feed and change the baby that’s not a bathroom!! Good job OKC Science Museum!!! You rock.
