Earlier this week, we had a day full of adventure at the Seattle Children’s Museum, which is situated in the lower level of the Armory at the Seattle Center.

The museum allowed her to try on differents hats for different careers, such as Fire Fighter, or Bus Driver.

The global village showed a little bit about how some people live in a few different parts of the world such as Japan, the Philippines, and Ghana.

COG City was all about machines and mechanics and how things work.

With supplies and opportunity to build a few things on their own.

The optometry office was a big hit for our bespectacled girl. She loved having the opportunity to wear the optometrists jacket.

She loved getting a closer look at the equipment where she could explore and study it in a way that was not possible when she got her eyes checked at the real optometrists.

Daddy was a patient patient, and even tried on her glasses.

There was a model market where they could practice shopping for food and making healthy choices.

The scale was a big hit.

And while we know that all the world is a stage, especially for a 6-year-old, nothing compares to some uninterrupted time on a real stage with mom and dad (and others) in the audience.

And then there was a magical fantasy room, full of books, and fairies, and a happy little girl who really didn’t want to leave.

The Seattle Children’s Museum is designed for kids up to ten, but I think where it really shines is for the preschoolers. It’s a lovely place to spend the day with the little ones, especially the toddlers and up to 5 or 6, but I think many kids would outgrow it before they reach ten.
