    Does anyone know if the new Marble muesuem has a website? I am looking for something \like this to take my five year old boy to while he is out of school on Monday?? I have searched the internet and cannot seem to find their site. They merged with exploris or playspace and I have heard it is really nice. I have seen it on the news when they first opened ....anyone have information??

    We went on Oct 31st. It was not too busy & DS had fun.
    BUT
    It was not super-doper great.

    I would give it a 6 or 7 on the 1-10 scale.

    The Dress up roll play area (on Level 1) a big YES for 2-5 y/o; the water toys, and the under the sea room.

    The upper level tv area not so much...
    There is a "green wall" so you can 'be' the weatherman or whatever. Also on that level is a Mic & a sing-a-long thing + some computers.
    And a paint the wall.
    There is an special show of Can Art. Canned foods being used to make art...

    Plus Imax Movies?

    My almost 3 year old son LOVES it. We bought a membership! It depends on the child, it is all hands on, use your imagination type stuff... so if your child is into that kind of thing...

    He dresses up like a pirate and plays on the pirate ship forever!! They have new arts and crafts each week, one week Henna painting and the next it was rainbow fish and making centipedes on a leash.

    I actually get bored, but he loves it.

    It has been a while, I went with 3 little ones. Maybe 5 and under. We were the only ones in there. It was fun, but I didn't think it was worth the drive.

    We went to the Downtown Wilson Museum 3-4x last year with a local to Wilson buddy & her children. She has the inside scoop on when to go & what class would be offered when.
    We had a blast!
    One time we made some sort of chemical snow! No, it was not toxic. Just fun.
    It was never crowded and I liked it as well as DS.
