Atlanta's weather has been cold and wet to say the least. And not the fluffy white fun kind of cold and wet. More like the brown soggy never ending kind of wet. Fortunately we live in a city that is chock full of fun indoor things for families to enjoy. The Children's Museum of Atlanta always tops my kids list. A few weekends ago we decked ourselves out in our finest cold rainy weather essentials and made our way to the new Run! Jump! Fly! Adventures in Action exhibit that opened on January 19th.
We've been coming to the Children's Museum for years, and I love when they bring in these traveling exhibits because my children can interact and learn something new as well as enjoy their favorite museum staples.
Run! Jump! Fly! promotes learning through movement by introducing kids to new activities such as Kung Fu, yoga, surfing, snowboarding, and rock climbing.
Kids are able to keep track of their progress and even train in a specialized center to see if they have what it takes to be an action star.
Run! Jump! Play! Might be one of our favorite exhibits yet! The kids had a blast at each center and didn't want to leave.
They loved the hands-on (and foot. and total body.) interaction. Just what those tiny little bodies needed after being cooped up on a rainy cold day!
I think one of their favorite parts of the exhibits was the snowboard and surfing simulator designed to let kids experience different forms of balance. There were even two types of boards so that the kids could check out a slightly more advanced boarding experience. L.C. told us she's ready to test out her skills on the "real" mountain.
The kids had so much fun. Whether we have rain, snow, or sun in our future I know we'll be back to check out the exhibit another time or two before it makes its way out of Atlanta on May 27th.
