5 & Under -- Free
They won't know what they're looking at anyway..
A lot of that free stuff is to make it affordable for parents to come. Young parents don’t have frequently don’t excess cash for educational experiences that are unlikely to hold a child’s attention.
But take a 5 year old boy to a train museum it is likely to be a different story. Even in my sixties, I can spend hours.
By the way I am not a model railroader.
I think that there is just something about Railroads and Locomotives that speak to the male spirt.
I was merely noting that the free-minded children are the ones who get in free, having ‘nothing to contribute’, yet then again, are free to ‘say the darndest things.’
No arguments about the interest in a train museum, but what's the difference between a train museum and an art museum?
Basically the former has some real live action to it, even with displays to climb and explore. Even just looking at the trains can be exciting for all of the fun adventure and visuals they inspire.
But then you take a lady like Mona Lisa 😐, who from a kid's perspective is just looking for any excuse to scold. 😄
Now here we are with an article about a prancing horse sculpture discovered off the coast of Sicily, and what does it make me think of? The miniature plastic horses pulling the little Sicilian matchstick carts, and memories of the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento.
Eh, so I walked over to the tiny, delicate things and picked them up to admire them for a bit. They made me smile.
Incorrigible am I.
