Thursday morning we made our way downtown. It was rainy so we thought we would enjoy a fun morning at the SC Children's Museum. We parked in the parking lot by the visitors center and walked over to the Children's Museum. The Children's Museum of the Lowcountry is Charleston’s hands-on learning environment designed just for children ages 3 months to 12 years and their families and includes 8 interactive exhibits.
When we first arrived, we went to the Raceways exhibit, which is a room where they can race golf balls through chutes, hoops and loops as you experience the laws of motion and physics first hand! This was probably one of Emily's favorite exhibits. Next we moved on to the WaterWise room where they can race a boat down rapids, paint with water on a large black board, take control of the water cycle and build an understanding of water’s importance in our lives.
After WaterWise we briefly went into the Lowcountry Shrimping room where kids can discover the life of a Lowcountry shrimper. Take the wheel of our 30-foot replica shrimp boat and guide it through stormy seas, cast a net and weigh your catch on the dock scales. Next we were on to
Creativity Castle. In this room kids are able to create a recycled art masterpiece, or make a special craft based on our weekly art room theme. This was probably Emily's second favorite room. While we were there, Emily and I painted and glued stuff on some pages of paper. Next we were on to the Castle Stories room where John put on a puppet show for the kids. In that room kids are able to immerse in medieval life. Read a book on King Arthur’s bed, dress up in a medieval costume or cook a feast in the castle kitchen. All five of us went up to the top of the castle to play.
Finally we stopped back by the Raceways room for Emily to play a little before leaving. We walked back towards the parking garage and happen to see a cafe called the Green Tea. We stopped for some sandwiches before heading back to the IOP.
