If you are looking for a great outing that will be fun and educational for your children a museum is the perfect place to go and a place that a child will not soon forget.

Kidspace Museum

Kidspace is one of California's best children's museums, offering a range of activities for toddlers to pre-teens. Kidspace is an educational experience for children, while at the same time filled with tons of fun. Classes and programs include early childhood education classes that range in parenting workshops to art and dance classes. The Star Station Planetarium offers floor seating for 25 to explore the stars and learn about the sky. Kidspace also holds an annual inventor's challenge for children and their families.

Brooklyn Children's Museum

Setting the precedent for children's museums, Brooklyn Children's Museum was the first museum founded specifically for children in 1899. Designed for children of toddler age to mid-teens, there are a lot of exhibits to choose from and there is always something new.

Upon arrival you are given a tour guide that takes you through make-believe, full-sized stores and subway cars. Touching everything is encouraged throughout the museum. Afterschool and summer camps are offered and include activities within the museum as well as field trips. Also offered on their website are at home activities that can be played on your home computer.

Boston Children's Museum

Children's museum aside, this also offers an amazing playground area with a room full of golf balls and a slide for kids to use all of their energy. The bubble room is, you guessed it, full of bubbles everywhere (smocks are included). Revolving exhibits such as Kitchen Science and Meet the Creatures offer new programs monthly. Also monthly is cultural focus, where the museum takes one country and highlights it in many exhibits. In addition helping kids learn about foreign cultures, these exhibits can also highlight the issue of poverty and how people in many other countries aren't fortunate as we are. One such exhibit prompted a conversation with my children that led to our family donating clothes to a children's charity. Story time and "messy activity" are also daily features. There is a food court or you can dine on your brown bag lunch on the first floor. Right outside the museum is the big Hood milk bottle that serves excellent ice cream cones. There are things for toddlers, but the Boston Children's Museum is geared more towards 5 and up.

1 - GREEDY for more cash There's nothing wrong with getting sales, and making profit, but if it involves constantly doing hard-sells, being forceful, and direct with your marketing, just for the money and nothing else, then you will be pushing your prospects and customers away. Some marketers will even go so far as to lie to and scam their customers, just to make a quick, easy buck, it's not worth it, unless you want to see your credibility go down the toilet - customers are not stupid.
