Please Touch Museum

Wow! Please Touch Museum is a dream come true for any young child. My 3 year old was in heaven ! “Museum”, I thought when I heard the name, what would that have to hold a child’s interest.  But it turned out that it this place completely targeted towards kids is one of the best children’s Museum. Their mission is – “to enrich the lives of children by creating learning opportunities through play, enables us to lay the foundation for a lifetime of learning and cultural awareness.”

We were there for almost 4 hours but still were unable to cover the entire place. It is huge, and there are so many areas to explore. The best part is that everything here is kid-sized, kid-sized markets, river, cars, train, ice-cream stand and McDonald’s too. Among the various attractions in the museum, the ones that we loved the most were :

v  Alice in Wonderland 
v  River Adventures play areas
v  Space Station, which features a series of display cases with over three decades of Star Wars toys.
v  Roadside Attractions, a new locale with a SEPTA bus and actual car.
v  The Walking Piano
v  The Woodside Park Carousel
v  The McDonald’s Restaurant

The museum focuses on teaching children through interactive exhibits and special events, mostly aimed at children seven years old and younger.

Gia's favorite part of the Please Touch Museum and mine as well, was the ShopRite store, where kids can grab a cart and stroll the aisles for all grocery items, including fresh fruits, oatmeal, honey, fresh bread, deli meats, produce and even frozen Philly cheesesteaks!  There's a checkout area at the front of the store, where kids can delight on hearing the beeping as they scan their items and ring them up at a cash register. It was an absolute fun to see Gia move around busily around the store, filling up her cart with as much stuff as she could get her tiny little hands on!
