Art Museum Website

Visit the Museum of Nature and Science for Free. Admission to the museum if absolutely FREE. This is a favorite of my family and we attend often. There are many different activities to do and see here. Ways to be more active include:

1. Taking the stairs instead of elevator or escalator

2. Playing in the kids discovery zone

3. Wearing a pedometer and tracking how many steps you take

4. If you have a smart phone downloading a free step tracker while you around the museum.

5. Expedition Health

I strongly recommend visiting the Expedition Health Exhibit. It is an interactive exhibit where Everyone of ALL Ages become a scientist and explore their body. You complete tests, see your body move inside(you really get to see your blood traveling through the blood vessel in your arm) and out and participate in an interactive video. At the end you can print out your results to see your overall health.

Picture to come!!!
