Rockford Discovery Center

Back in February, I took my little monkeys out to Rockford to check out the Discovery Center. While this is not a great big museum I though it was just great for my kids, Benjamin 7, Grace 5, and Molly 18 months. There was not a lot of things that were great for Molly to do so the museum is probably suited more for kids over the age of 3, in my opinion.

When you first go into the Discovery Center there is a great little play area for kids under the age of 3. This was really the only place that I let Molly out of the stroller. There is a kitchen / house area, an airplane with cargo center as well as some other little things for little ones to do. The Discovery Center is currently in the middle of a renovation and I believe one of the areas they are expending is this area for smaller children.

My big kids Ben and Grace had a great time exploring the rest of the museum. On the first level were exhibits on weight, levers and space. The 2nd level was focused on physical activity and health. There is lots of hands on stuff to do for the big kids on the 1st and 2nd levels.
