ABC Games atThe Please Touch Museum

If your looking for field trip to take your little ones too, check out the Please Touch Museum. Recently I had the chance to visit the museum during the opening of the ABC Games which runs until the end of the month.

This kid friendly event encourages an interest in physical fitness and sportsmanship and helps to build self confidence. Some of our favorites were the rock climbing wall and the obstacle course. They even have a section for kids under the age of 3 to try out some treadmills and exercise bikes that are the perfect size for them!
