Time to Discover the Ordinary


 



If you want to know why cats throw up hairballs, cows fart or how many germs flies really get on your food each time they land at your picnic table, then check out the special exhibit Animal Grossology at Discovery Place in Charlotte, NC.

We didn't have enough time to experience more of Charlotte. This children's science museum is definitely a great stop for children when visiting this beautiful city. It describes itself as the place "where science amazes, educates and entertains." That is an accurate description with its many physics, building, and animal exhibits. If we lived closer, the annual membership is worth it. Serene spent most of her time experimenting with numerous hands-on exhibits testing the laws of physics. Alex had a fantastic time building forts big and small with camouflage netting. As we get to know our way around museums across the country, this one is a great stop if you are passing through Charlotte.
