A Real Parent's Story
The perfect post-Peace Museum antidote
“She was quiet and sad. An hour in the play structure and she was laughing again.”

After the Peace Museum my youngest was in a funk. A local told us about this place. Within 5 minutes she was ziplining through the playground. The science exhibits kept my older kids busy another hour.
