Have you been to the Sloan Museum?
Here you will see many colorful displays ranging from space pictures,
classic cars, and play areas for your children.
The Sloan Museum located on 1221 E.
Kearsley St., Flint, Michigan, 48503, will give you and your children
endless hours of interesting and educational things to see.
Compact Car
Something that really caught might eye
was the compact car that the astronauts used to move around on the
moon. I love the fact that there are exhibits that allow you to
build your own compact car. It gives children the choice of the type
of car and colony they want to build. They decide where they want
their restaurant and/or gas station located in their colonies.
Space Journey
There is an entire exhibit regarding
space journey. Here there is endless hands on experience for your
children. This is great for the child that wants to touch
everything.
Sleeping Quarters
Can you imagine what the sleeping
quarters of an astronaut looks like on the moon? As you can see from
the pictures, they are very tiny quarters. Not a lot of room for
moving around.
First Camcorder
There is an exhibit of the first
camcorder that was used when the astronauts journeyed out into space.
Play area
There is something at the Sloan Museum
for all ages including your little ones. The play area has it's on
children's play grocery store. Children will love to pretend
shopping.
Reading area
Parents do you want to take a load off
of your feet? You can sit for a while and read to your toddlers.
There is a variety of books from which to choose.
Back in time
Do any of these appliances below look
familiar for back in the day? I remember my grandmother had that
type of washing machine on the back porch. This was where she did
her washing and ringing the clothes out. She then hung them out on a
line in the backyard. Dryers were not even thought of at that time.
What about the toaster and the mixer to the right of the washing
machine? Look familiar?
If you have not been to the Sloan
Museum, you are missing a treat. Your children will love it.
