Let’s play! Wilmington Children Museum has fun stuff for everyone
Posted By ShoutCarolina,Date: 12.16.2009The Wilmington children museum it’s a great place to spend the afternoon with the kids. It’s not as big as Edventure nor as cool as the one in Greenville, yet has lots of rooms to explore filled with fun and creative activities.
Admission is $8 (free for children under 1). The museum is located on Orange Street (one block from Cape Fear Serpentarium, another terrific place to visit) and is open daily 9AM - 5PM (1PM on Sundays)
Museum Highlights
The Doc is in! Play family doctor at the Teddy Bear Hospital, the newest exhibit at the museum and my girl instant favorite. Get on the exam table, check vital signs, apply bandages and get X-rays.
Ahoy Mates! Welcome aboard the pirate ship! Shoot the cannon, swab the deck, steer the dinghy and explore the treasure cave behind the beaded waterfall. Kick it up a notch and make your own Jolly Roger flag. Just be warned Black Beard’s ghost may be nearby!
Be a pop diva and dance away in the glow-in-the-dark fun room. There are live TV cameras, dress-up costumes and a karaoke stage equipped with working microphones and lights.
The Circus is here! You may as well join in the fun since it gets so loud…
Outside, older kids can test their climbing skills on the spider-web and the little ones can drive the magic school bus!
If time permits visit the magnificent North Carolina, the most decorated and beloved WWII battleship ($12 adults, $10 seniors and military, $6 children 6-11, free for children 5 and under).
