What to do? It is raining or too hot. My nephews have watched TV or played video games for far too long...desperate need for intellectual stimulation.
We go to Discovery Place and Imaginon. Seriously- go to both in one day. Sometimes we throw in the Museum of the New South (it is free on Sundays). My nephews are zombies after these activities. Awesome way to keep children entertained (and fun for us)
The year long passes are probably the best bang for buck. It is a bit pricey- but I don't feel guilty about spending my money towards places that are improving the community.
One of my nephews just turned 7 and the other is 13. They both can find activities that amuse them. They are never bored at Discovery Place. They might like different activities- but there is something for each of them.
My 13 year old nephew discovered his love of mechanics while at Discovery Place. That is seriously worth every penny. Someone working there spent extra time with my nephew- showing him how to take apart and put back together a robot. Very awesome.
