Children's Discovery Museum Adventure

I had been wanting to go check out the Children's Discovery Museum of the Desert in Rancho Mirage for a while and finally the opportunity arose to go with our friends. It was an incentive that it didn't cost anything for kids that are under 2 years old so it was important that we went before Makenna hit her birthday:-) So two weeks before we loaded up and headed out for the 45-minute drive to the Palm Springs area.

We went on a weekday and got there just a few minutes after opening so we were the only ones in the museum for a little while; which was wonderful. They have all kinds of hands-on exhibits to play in. We saw the laser harp, the rope maze climbing area (one of Makenna's favorites),

paper plate pictures, block tower building,

archaeology digs, dress up (another favorite; I mean who wouldn't like shoes and purses),

pizza parlor, grocery shopping (always her favorite),

outdoor play, and joy rides.

We had a marvelous time. We hope to go back again sometime.
