Creative Discovery Museum, Chattanooga


Our last stop before returning home was to the Creative Discovery Museum in downtown Chattanooga. We had the best time! The visiting exhibit is Alice in Wonderland - wonder which princess was excited to find that out? We entered into water exploration first - towers to climb, boats to race, and lots of water to play in! Our next stop was Dinosaur discovery. We could build our own dinosaurs, make silly dinosaur faces, or read interesting facts that other kids wrote. Music Station was the favorite stop of one certain young man. Large musical instruments contained buttons to push in which you could hear the sound. Xander sang his famous "1, 2, 3 Like a Bird" and recorded it in a studio. Got to hear himself on the radio! Over, and over and over and over.......After art station where we became portrait artists and clay potters, we headed upstairs to Wonderland. We got to walk down the hall of doors and try to find the missing rabbit. We had our very own Mad Hatter tea party. We experimented with mirrors to learn all kinds of new tricks. This museum has a rooftop playground - how cool was that? We played checkers and connect four (as big as Kaelee!). Bubble stations, and pulley races kept us busy outside. We finished our museum tour in the Little Yellow House - we could dress up as dogs and crawl in the doghouse, work in the workshop, climb up in the tree house, or make mom a much needed snack in the kitchen.

Can you believe that we didn't have time to do the whole museum? I feel another trip to Chattanooga coming on.......
