What we loved:
It has a lot to do

What we didn't love:
It is has a record with many incidents and injuries

Before you go I must inform you of several serious incidents at the city museum.
In the train there was a hole in the floor, this hole proved just large enough for a two year old girl to fall through. A teen, while crawling through one of the play areas, hit he head on the ceiling and passed out. The most dangerous is that last summer a fifteen ton block of granite fell from the ceiling. Fortunatly no one was hurt. In addition to these there are even more problamatic areas and it is only a matter of time untill someone gets hurt or even killed. One area I would definatly avoind is the out side play ground. You are 30+ feet in the air sometimes supported by nothing more than chicken wire. The problem, it was built by artists not engineers who didn' take the safety of your children into concern.
