When my mom was visiting over spring break, we took a trip to the Buffalo Museum of Science. The science museum is fairly small, but the kids had a fantastic time looking at all the exhibits.
The boys really liked a pretend rocket-ship display. They both took turns in the pilot seat, pressing buttons and pretending to go through a lift-off sequence.
Everyone liked the globe with changing displays - you could display a live weather map, the earth, deep space, Mars, and the moon. Matt and Nolan spent a decent amount of time in this room.
Nolan really liked the hurricane simulator. He went into the windy booth several times.
The water table with sand/gravel was a huge hit - the boys could have played here forever. Honestly, sand and water are the best toys on earth.
We stopped by the top floor with the space displays, but there wasn't anything interactive here. Matt liked the space shuttle, so I took his picture before we left.
There was an interactive "reaction time" game that both boys loved. They would race back and forth to see who could hit the lit buttons the fastest.
After playing the reaction-time game, Nolan would run over and check his heart rate. The heart on the glass display would beat in time to a person's heart rate.
Matt was very interested in the biomedical displays in this area of the museum. He finished a human skeleton puzzle while we were in the area.
The museum isn't very big, but well worth a trip when we're in the area.
