Last week, Aiden and I met up with Willow and the boys at The expERIEnce Children’s Museum in Erie, PA. It was about 2 hours to drive there from our location in northeastern Ohio, but it was a clear, sunny day. It was also 9 degrees, but that is beside the point. Neither of us had been there before, so we weren’t quite sure what to expect. It ended up being a wonderful little museum, and our boys had a really good time! There are three levels, each with a different theme. Their favorite was the upper level, which was a pretend-play/imagination type theme. There was a little town, complete with grocery store, doctor’s office, and bank, and the kids could dress up and play their own games here. This was a hit! Of course, my kid decided to be a bank robber. Yay. Then he was the cashier in the little pretend Wegman’s grocery store. This store was my favorite part! It had shelves of play food that looked SO real! And little grocery carts! As a little girl, I’d have been SO happy to find a place like this.
These little docs were super dreamy.
Willow was a brave mommy, volunteering to be the patient. I volunteered to take the pictures.
The first floor was really fun too, with a giant water table feature. The water came down over a dam type thing, and you could change the course of the water by building walls. (You like my super-scientific descriptions?) This changed the pressure of the water too, and I think they all learned a lot just by playing around here! I think we need one at home. Because I liked it too. 
I would recommend this museum to anyone within a reasonable driving distance. It is only $6 per person for admission, and you could easily spend a whole day. When we were there, we basically had the place to ourselves.

I want to go with you next time! Great pictures and looks like LOTS of fun!
