I don't know about you all but when the thermometer hits 85 or higher, I get hot! The last thing I want to do is go to a hot beach or an unshaded park. In the past I would take the kids to the mall, or the Pacific Science Center etc. But I know right where I'm going this summer on hot days...the Factoria Kid Quest Museum!
It is SO great!!! I have a 19mo old and a 4 1/2 yr old and they both can run around and find activities for themselves that are age appropriate. I can actually sit down and relax and not worry that my kids are destroying anything or getting into trouble! Often we will bring a friend for my older one, so they can run around and explore together.
An annual membership is only $60, and since it's $6/person to get in, that has paid itself off in droves! We try to go once a week and I bet on those hot and rainy summer days we will be there more than that!
HELPFUL HINT: Go after 1:30 in the afternoon and on a weekday...it is CRAZY on weekends and in the mornings. Have fun!
