MY TRIP TO

The Children‘s Museum of Green Bay

Hooray! I am going to The Children’s Museum of Green Bay today! It’s going to be so much fun!

When I get to the museum, I have to wait by the hot air

balloon to check in. An adult will pay for my

admission at the front desk.    

Once we have paid our money, we can go inside the museum.

The Children’s Museum has 4 important rules that I have to follow.

1.  Stay with your adult.

2.  Take turns with other children.

3.  Use walking feet.

4.  Have fun!

The museum has many big exhibits!

I will visit them one at a time.

This exhibit is called Get Up and Get

Moving.

I can run a race, kick and throw balls at a screen, dress up like a Packers player and do a Lambeau

Leap.

I know I should wait my turn when other children are

playing too.

This exhibit is called The Digestive System. The mouth is a slide and there are tunnels inside. It makes silly noises

like your stomach does. It can be dark, but I can get a flashlight at the front desk to help me see.

This exhibit is called Under Construction. I can pretend to be a real

builder. I can build with Legos, Lincoln

Logs and other building materials when I’m in this

area.

This exhibit is called The Market.

It is just like a real grocery store. I can shop for different foods with a shopping cart and check out at the cash register.

Look for your favorite fruit or vegetable to buy when you are

there!

This exhibit is called The Fire Station. I can pretend to be a firefighter by dressing up, driving the truck, putting out fires and sliding down the fire pole. The fire truck has flashing lights,

but it doesn’t make any sounds.

I can work in The Town when I am here by punching my time card in each of the shops.

When I am done working, I put my time card into the ATM machine to get play money that I can spend while playing in The Town. It is fun to work hard and make some money.

This exhibit is called The Vet Clinic. I can take care of the stuffed pets and pretend I am a

veterinarian. I use the x-ray machine, microscope, stethoscope and

other veterinarian tools while helping the animals stay healthy.

This exhibit is called The Diner. I can make and serve food to my family and friends or dance along with the juke box and see myself on the tv screen. Just like a real restaurant

kitchen, sometimes the Diner can get a little noisy.

This exhibit is called The Reading Nook.

I can go here if I need a place to cool down. There are books, puzzles and little games for me to enjoy quietly until I am ready to go back into the

museum.

This exhibit is called The Garden Shop. I can dig in the play dirt and plant a flower.

It is fun to look at insects and nature items with a magnifying glass too.

This exhibit is called The Water Gallery. It looks like a big boat! I can splash, go fishing, pour and scoop and make waterways in the water. I might get a little wet, but there are

dryers and rain coats if I want to stay dry.

The Lighthouse is part of the Water Gallery. It has stairs that go up to the top. It’s high! I’m right next to the light and I can see the whole museum. I can also play in the sandbox. I can take my shoes off and put them in the shoe box to feel the sand

in between my toes!

I will also want to stop by the Technology Wall. There are games and puzzles I can play by touching the screen.

Most of the games have no sounds, but the piano game can

be noisy.

This exhibit is called The Mighty Oak. It is a giant treehouse with slides. I can climb up into the tree, look for

animals with binoculars or have a tea party. I make sure to wait my turn on the slides and always slide down feet first.

This exhibit is called The Imagination Station. There are arts and crafts projects to do every day. I can follow the directions at

the tables or make my own art. I can color, cut and glue. It might get a little messy, but there are sinks where I can wash my hands.

These are the Celebration Rooms. I can eat a snack in these rooms or cool down if I need

to.

This is the Gathering Space. There are benches to sit

down and take a break. There are also toys for sale in the Gift Shop. I know these toys are different than the toys in the museum because they are

for sale.

I will remember to follow the rules at The Children’s Museum.

•  I have to stay with my adult. •  I have to walk and take turns. •  If I have a question or get lost, I can go to the hot

air balloon at the front desk and the museum staff will help me.

•  I will play, learn, imagine and create!

I have learned a lot about The Children’s Museum. I know I will have a great visit!
