Daytona Museum of Arts and Science

We spent a couple of hours at the Museum of Arts and Science in Daytona Beach, Florida. The Museum was a 25 minute drive from where we were staying and it was a rainy afternoon, plus through ASTC Travel Passport Program our entrance was free. So, why not!

Here's the skinny- The Museum has a new Children's Museum which is small, but more than enough to keep my 2 and almost 6 year old happy for about 2 hours. It's basically a small hands on science center, with a TINY infant/toddler area. I do mean TINY! There was 1 other child in this area with my daughter and it was crowded. Luckily she lost interest in the couple of toys and moved on to the "big kid" area. Aside from the science stuff, they have a pretend pizza making area, and doctors office, both of which my daughter enjoyed. There is also an art museum (too young for it, but we walked through and discussed some pieces), a Coca-Cola area they enjoyed, and 2 real trains. Entrance would have been less than a movie, and was more enjoyable! I wouldn't drive out of my way to get there, but if you're in the area and it's a rainy day, it would be a good way to spend part of your day!
