The body side is kind of a let down due to broken activities. We did enjoy the 2:30 class at the IHealth lab about popcorn. That was fun. I didn't realize they had labs throughout the day. We will have to go back to participate in those. The upstairs was fun with all the STEM activities. None of those were broken. We didn't go to the IMAX theater this time, but I definitely enjoyed the educational movies they have had in the past.

We discovered this place as part of our ticket package to the history museum. The museum has two floors. The first floor is kind of small, but kids make the most of it. It is hands on activities related to early history of the area. The second floor has a lego room, a period school house and a pretend grocery store. Overall we spent about an hour and a half at the museum. A great way to spend a rainy day.

There are many little factual exhibits on the structure with a lot of interactive experiences. You can navigate (and crash or sink) your ship, feel the Crow's Nest experience, learn about the people who really first landed in Mobile, learn about those fascinating cargo ships going in and out of the port as you watch them, and also learn about the wildlife encountered at sea. Even as an adult, I appreciated the experience. This was a very different sort of museum, not huge, but you could certainly spend some time there.

On Thursdays the museum is open from 10:00 am to 9:00 pm and there is no charge to visit the museum. You won't be disappointed. There is always something interesting to see and learn for every age. Last Thursday evening, my daughter, granddaughter and I attended the event inspired by the Aminah Robinson exhibit. We enjoyed making an art project, seeing local talented artists and their work, hearing moving poetry and live jazz, eating delicious food and visiting Aminah's art exhibit again.

My 19 month old granddaughter was quite limited in what she could touch and play with. It was essentially one small section for toddlers that young and then a water area that was sort of too high for her to reach even on the stepstool.

Only reason for the four stars instead of five are the limited activities for the younger kiddos.

It is a small building but they have packed it with activities that seem to cover a wide age range. We went on a Monday so it was mostly small kids, but my fifth-grader spent three hours going through all the indoor and outdoor exhibits before we left for lunch. We sprang for the planetarium and it was a bit long for the small kids but mine was interested the whole time. We were impressed with the inflatable planetarium.
