The "Hands" Museum

There is a Children's Hands On Museum here in Jax that we visited the other week.  Riley calls it the "Hands Museum."  It's a little ghetto-ish, but he LOVED it.  There was a vet area, a grocery store, 50's cafe, stage w/ costumes, post office, train, slides & ball pit, ship, police station w/ car, fire truck, wheel chair b-ball, puppet show stage, etc.  
Riley enjoying the ball pit.  Remember all those old stories about needles being found in the McDonald's Playland ball pits...I tried not to think about it.
Fireman Riley driving the truck to the nearest fire.  He loved dressing up in the boots and hat.

It's funny, with a city the size of Jacksonville you'd think they'd have a "bigger, better" children's museum. I had the same feeling when I went, kind of old, smelly, run down but Kai loved it. I think they have a pretty big one in the SLC area.
