I told you we were excited to visit the Discovery Center Museum in Rockford - and we finally did! Forbes lists the museum as one of the top 12 Children's Museums in the whole country! That's pretty exciting!
We weren't disappointed! Thankfully we were able to join some friends for the afternoon too which made it extra special. It was such a fun day!
The staff at the museum is friendly and helpful. I was please to see that everything, including the bathrooms, was tidy and pretty clean - that's pretty important when you have little ones all over the place. We really appreciated that we could bring a packed lunch and eat it in the lunch room, with reasonably priced drinks and snacks available.
The museum campus is lovely, and it overlooks the Rock River. It's very friendly and pleasing with beautiful walking path outside around the campus. Although they were still in the middle of some renovation work and prepping for spring, we were able to enjoy the grounds.
One important feature to the museum... there is only one way out! (Of course there are emergency doors too!) You don't need to worry about loosing a wandering child who happens to find an exit door.
