while we waited for our 'tour' we were taken outside to 'create' airplanes that would fly over the trees from paper that wouldn't on its own (get it - we needed some 'design' for the paper to fly). the kids enjoyed the activity. matt and i weren't too sure about launching our airplanes towards people, but no one was injured. (i have a video but couldn't get it to view in this section, it is further down).

i didn't take any pictures inside the science center, but we went on a tour/lecture that lasted about an hour. the kids did as best they could with so much scientific information and little moving. there were several fossils they could touch and they were fairly interested in what was being said - it was just a very long time. i found it to be extremely interesting (matt did too - at least the parts he heard because he was on maddux duty since i was wearing manning). the last part of the tour was optional and that what when they went through the seven days of creation and explained why it was scientifically justified to be 24-hour days. i would like to go again when the kids are older and i can read more of the materials available during the tour.
outside there were lots of 'activities' like miniature golf (most of the course was rough), burlap sack slides, a zip line (which we didn't do) and all kinds of swings and playground equipment from my childhood that you don't really see any more (mainly because they are dangerous). the kids loved it!

Looks like a fun time. Love the planes that you can launch. Sounds like a very interesting place to visit.
So wanted to take advantage of that here, but nothing too interesting close enough. The shell museum on Sanibel was included, but we have a groupon for that. Did they have seesaws? I can't remember what I just read, but oh, how I would love to get my kids on a seesaw.
