During our recent visit to Nashville we went to the Adventure Science Center.  The kids LOVED it!  It was a lot of fun hanging out, playing, and learning with the kids for several hours.  We were there when it opened that morning and left when it was closing 7 hours later, I would say it was a hit with the kids!  Even better is our whole family got in free (WOOHOO) because we are members of our local Roper Mountain Science Center in Greenville and the museums are part of the same affiliation.

Brina and Karlie discovered that they CAN lift a car off the ground, using the right tools!

Activity that simulates walking on the moon, they had a blast!

Karlie especially liked the Space Chase room.  Standing near her favorite planet….Saturn!

The space room was two stories high, this is looking up from the ground level.  Pretty neat!

Chatting with Brina, the old fashion way!

Brave Karlie putting her hand into the mouth of a fish and pulling it out of the log.

The water table was a popular spot for the kids!

Brina checking things out!

Karlie using the wind from the Jungle Gym to blow the sails on the sailboat!

Karlie generating energy on the bicycle! Pedal faster!

Parachute race!  Whose going to win!  You raise the parachutes on the pulley system, when it clicks they release and see who lands first!

Locating our house!

Found Grandpa and Grandma’s house too!

Exploring particles and magnets….

Feeding the giant mouth!

Trying to master the digestive track maze!

At the top of the 3 story jungle gym you can look out over downtown Nashville.  Great view!

Jake and the girls waiting for me to come down from the top.  They obviously move faster, ha!  Fun times with the family.

It’s probably been awhile since Jake’s been on a 3 story jungle gym.  He was a good sport and allow the girls to “show him around!”

This was a laser game that we played several times.  The good activities compete against the germs / sickness to see who will win.
