If you are looking for something fun to do from now until May 11th, 2014, I would highly recommend visiting
The Midland Center For The Arts. Our family was counting down the days until Saturday January 18th, when the exhibit opened, and were not disappointed. My husband is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to frogs and toads, and he may have been more excited than our three boys. From seeing the creatures jumping around in their portable habitats to the sculptures and paintings of our little friends all four of my men couldn't have been happier. We spent some time making origami jumping frogs and reading in a reading area with a few froggy plush friends before we headed down to the newly renovated Hall of Ideas.
The Hall Of Ideas
Included in your admission to the Frogs exhibit you can take some time to play in The Hall of Ideas. We spent some time playing with interactive art displays, electronic science experiments and a lot of time with the musical instruments. Who knew my little men were so musical?
We tried out a small movie theater and found that they could sit still for a small amount of time. We may head out to see a Disney film at NCG this year. The video that was played was very interesting about the history of film, showing many things I remember from my childhood.
The large building block area and farm equipment was a hit. Thankfully benches were near by because we were not going to be going anywhere for quite a long time.
If you would like to go and visit The Midland Center For The Arts, you can find them on the web at www.mcfta.org.
