Day at the Museum.

One Sunday, hubby and I decided that it's time for the little boy to experience going to museum.  Guess which museum we decided to go to...
Yes... it's the Mind Museum located at the Bonifacio Global City.
Where 'Science Comes Alive!'
We first met Aedi.  She was cute.
I found The Ten Most Beautiful Experiments interesting.  They were basically the breakthroughs that changed the world.
Then, we were off to the Universe gallery.  Was not a good idea to start with it.  The little boy got scared of the dark.  We missed the film showing.  So, I guess he will not be an astronaut in the future.
He started to loosen up at the Earth gallery.  He loves dinosaurs, that's why.
Love 'em, too... as long as they won't eat me.
Next, was the Life gallery which talks about the Human Brain, basically the different parts of the body, the cell and my favorite, the genes/DNA (I still remember the Punnet Square from High School.. hehe).

The Atom gallery was the little boy's most favorite.  There were interactive displays.  Electromagnetism started all the fun.

This was no fun for hubby and I... but the Table of Elements indeed brought back memories of Chemistry.  I did hope it was more student friendly just like this...

The second floor housed the Technology gallery.  This exhibit showed the quick look to the different technological eras of the world.

Our last stop was the Science Park which is a bummer because it would have been best if we went there during daylight.  Not much of a wonder at night plus my phone camera did not cooperate.  Additional lights would have made it more fun.

And oh, we went back inside... to the museum store.  The store completed the modern-museum-abroad feel.  The little boy did not go home without a souvenir, of course.


A 3-hour tour that costs Php600 for the adults and Php450 for the kids (Php150 for public school pupils) is a bit on the pricey side.  It would have been lovelier (and more value-for-money) if there were more awesome interactive displays like those in the National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC (which, if I remember correctly, is free).  


But, yes, this museum is a great start.  Bringing forth more avenues for learning is what our growing country needs.  I forgot to mention that the architecture of the building was a standout.  Let this not be that last one.
