This is another great museum on the Oklahoma Museum Network.

It has a giant playground outside.

They have also expanded since the last time we went!

They had a workshop area to take apart electronics and build things!

Little Bit was not happy about taking apart a toy instead of playing with it.

The boys really liked it though!

We stopped at the Little House on the Prairie Museum on our way up to see family in Minnesota.

Laura Ingalls Wilder lived here with her parents when she was a child and it inspired the series of books she later wrote.

They have an old post office and school that they moved to the location as well.

It was really neat to see the cabin that is a replica of the one she lived in.

I am hoping that seeing the spot that inspired the books would help them come to life so I bought these two while there!

I found it really interesting that in the books they journey from Minnesota to Kansas and we were heading to Minnesota as well!
