The Children's Museum of Richmond has been touted as one of the East Coast's most exciting, innovative museums where the words "hands off" don't apply. The kids are encouraged to touch everything, and that invitation to interact with the attractions and exhibits they see proves to be just the thing to spark their curiosity and creativity. The kids can chase butterflies in Shadow Play, create artwork in the art room and then take their creations home with them, as well as learn the value of community and sharing as they interact with their fellow adventurers.

Is your child curious about the world and wants to know how things work? Then he or she will totally enjoy a trip to the Science Museum of Virginia. Several exhibits and attractions are interactive, and inquisitive minds will love learning about electricity, computers, astronomy and much more. Plus, the whole family will feel like space travelers while watching the show at the Ethyl Universe Planetarium and Space Theater. Don't be surprised if the kids want to keep coming back to this fun and educational venue as they continue their quest for learning how everything works.
