Like a Big Backyard

Post by Noelle Duryee, Membership and Groups Coordinator at Kidspace Children's Museum

The other day, I observed two moms with toddlers exchanging phone numbers as one commented, "We come here every Thursday, hope to see you next week!” After seeing these familiar faces week after week, it seemed to me that they have found the comfort and community that has the essence of their own backyard. Though families have many options for exploring kid-friendly places, it is rare to find one that encourages and promotes a feeling of community, too!

Planning a simple, educational and adventurous outing with your children is something every new parent looks forward to. Kidspace provides a variety of exploration opportunities, from meeting the latest addition to our exotic insect collection, hands-on art and crafts, water play activities and more. I hope you discover just the right spot for your family and hopefully get to know some other members in your community along the way.
