 Our kids loved it!!!, Nov 17, 2005 |
| reviewer: DA Thomas
from Vienna, VA USA |
| We visited the museum in July 2005. It was beautifully laid out with about 30 pct of the exhibits in English. My kids (9 and 12) had to be dragged out of the genetics exhibit. The geodome movie theater was a blast. The surrounding children's play areas, all with different themes, entertained us another couple of hours. Our children nagged us to return so incessantly that we punted Versailles to return for a second day of fun. The only reason I did not rate this as a 5, is because not all the exhibits had an English translation, but of course we were in France (I don't think our museums are all translated in French)! Go and enjoy!!! |
