The kids are getting their exercise within the 2 hours, and they usually take a nap after lunch. Yes, that is a staff member helping the kids in the left picture!

The rooms are large enough to keep the kids entertained while the moms can socialize and keep a close … READ MORE >>

Get Creeped Out @ Pretend City (PLUS a Giveaway)!

I am getting chills just thinking about this. In October, creepy crawlers and other cool creatures will invade Pretend City Children’s Museum. What better way to celebrate the spooky month of October than to have your children explore and look for the creatures at the craggy cave, grassy meadow, and frightful farm shed at Pretend City. A special activity for each day of the week throughout the month include: daily bug-themed activities, meeting special “guests”, and creating creatures in the Art Studio. Which one will you want to see? Photo Credits: Pretend City Children’s Museum Mondays: Art Studio Sessions Baby Bugs “Squishy, Slimy, Creepy Crawly art projects are in store … READ MORE >>
