As many historians will tell you, freedom isn't free. Our country's freedom came at the cost of the efforts and the lives of people who were vigilant in their pursuit for the American Way. Learn about who they were, what they did and how their actions still resonate today when you take a tour of the State Historic Preservation Office. This museum-style facility pays tribute to the brave men and women who pursued freedom at any cost. You will also learn about the Underground Railroad as well as the various laws that were enacted to further the cause of freedom.
Entertaining the kids is always a challenge. It becomes less of a chore when you take them to visit the Children's Museum. This impressive facility seamlessly melds education and entertainment to offer visitors a chance to have fun while they learn. Among the many highlights and attractions are a planetarium and a wildlife sanctuary that features over 30 animals. Star Station One is another popular exhibit, as it dramatically recreates the experience of outer space, complete with an amazing replica of the International Space Station.
Located in the heart of the city, Bushnell Park is essentially a celebration of nature in the middle of the buzzing metro area. Kids will enjoy the expansive outdoor play areas and playgrounds as well as the pavilions and picnic areas that are perfectly suited for parties and family gatherings. And speaking of families, the kids will absolutely love a visit to the Bushnell Park Carousel that is part of the park's layout. This vintage carousel features hand-painted wooden horses that will delight kids of all ages!
