There are "real looking" dinosaurs, a free fall "ride", earthquake simulation house and lightning strike. You can measure how fast you can throw or catch fish and measure the length and weight. There is a play area called Mini Q specifically for kids under 6 where they can pretend they are workers on a construction site, astronauts or bakery workers. There is also a water play area (they can't get in it, they just play with boats and other water toys while standing at the sides). I think Liam and Jonas' favorite was the playground area where they can crawl through tunnels. The best part for parents is it is closed off and kids can't get out without their parent. You can just sit and relax while your kids run around for hours using up all of their energy!
I meant to take pictures but there is so much going on all at once! Plus, I don't think Jonas stood still for the entire 3 hours. Here are a few we did get:
Liam and Jonas dancing around and it makes these colorful images on the screen.
Nate's favorite part.Overall it was a fun day. Liam and Jonas were especially happy to be out of the house. It was nice to do it all together as well. Usually Nate is so busy on campus he doesn't get to do stuff like this with us.

Oh, I wanna go to Questacon--or Deceptacon!! It sounds, maybe, (yes, I'll say it) better than the Exploratorium. Awesome! I can probably guarantee that I'd have more fun than the kids or you! ;) Haha. I'm glad you got to get out and do something fun. I hope you weren't hurting too much. Though I wish little that you had more pictures.
Oh Carol, you would LOVE Questacon!! There are so many fun, interactive things to do. I was trying to remember the Exploratorium and the different things to do there. I feel like I have been there tons of times...just not past 6th grade! :) I wish I had more pictures too. It was seriously hard to find a moment when the kids were not running around like crazy though.
