| - I wish I may I wish I might have a bigger better museum.
In a town built for adult entertainment, there are few quality child-specific activities. There are some good activities that keep my daughter entertained: the mock grocery store, the discovery play area and the mock airport security (I guess we travel waaay too much if she thinks its fun going through security). Unfortunately, there isn't enough to keep her (and me) entertained for more than a couple of hours.
Food options are limited (as in vending machines), so make sure to bring snack or pack a lunch for your little one to snack on. While I'm not asking for a full blown restaurant , a little snack bar with fresh sandwiches and fruit would be nice, as they have that in other museums around the country.
Having been to a number of other children's museums, there is so much more I wish Lied Discover Museum would do. Maybe an expanded arts & crafts program, a larger interactive role-play area or a bigger infant/toddler section. I know funding is always an issue, so I can't really ask for too much, can I?
I thought about rating this place 3 stars, but when I took it at face value and didn't compare it to museums in other cities, this place is really THE place to take a child. Regardless of my wants for improvement, the Lied Discovery Children's Museum provides an excellent entertainment option for children in a city full of adult themes.
