Insect Museum
My son has recently become addicted to watching pictuqe books and DVDs about insects (especially beetles). For him, we went to the Insect Museum, located about an hour drive away, on weekend. The museum displayed specimens of various kinds of insects. Of course, there were live beetles. My son was so excited that he stopped in front of each exhibit and looked at them intently.
He seemed to be so happy that he got toy beetles as a souvenir. He put them in a house made of blocks with great care.
