Richmond Science Museum

We recently visited the Richmond Science Museum. I have to admit, it was impressive. It is 4 stories of exhibits. We had a great time. It also has a planetarium and imax theater. Here are some things that we visited.

Matthew on the simulator with 0 gravity walking on the moon. It was really hard to do!
Lindsey operating the space craft after it has landed on the moon.

Matthew and Lindsey experiencing what it feels like to be an ice skater doing the spin. Can't remember what it is actually called...sorry!

The submarine!

This picture has a funny story. We walked to this exhibit only to see the male and female anatomy on display. The purpose is to show how babies are formed in the womb and the stages of development. Well, as you can see on Matthew's face he thought it to be quite funny. What do you do when you are in the museum and your children see the exhibit? I actually noticed it first and was telling Michael to take a look so we could figure out how to react. He looked over and had this embarrassed look on his face and quickly looked away....it was so funny! He acted like it was something he should not be viewing! You had to be there but I broke out in laughter at Michael and felt like we were in 2nd grade!

Thankfully we didn't really discuss the exhibit with the kids. Matthew took a look and then didn't really say anything. Lindsey was oblivious!
