I made my first trip to tour EdVenture last week, and I must say - I'm sold! The interactive exhibits were the perfect blend of brain-boosting activity and imaginative play for kids ' and adults, actually. I highly recommend it as a family day trip for out-of-towners or locals. It's a perfect day-cation, and there are a few special features this summer you'll want to catch before their season has passed!

Until September 19, the museum is featuring a seasonal Blue Man Group: Making Waves exhibit. The new exhibit opened this summer and gives children the opportunity to interact with and explore sounds in exciting ways ' combining sounds and rhythms to create music, changing voices through pitch and vibration and simply making their body a sound machine. This is one wave you'll want to catch!

Though special exhibits change seasonally, EdVenture always features exhibits like 'Eddie' and the 'World of Work.' As soon as you walk in, you

I was very impressed with the kids' complete engagement and excitement throughout each exhibit and activity. From riding the camel and playing West Africa dress-up in the From Here to Timbuktu exhibit to shopping at the supermarket and sliding down the fireman pole in World of Work, the kid-sized city, children are welcomed to play, imagine and learn. Other year-round exhibits include The Great Outdoors, My Backyard, Aha Factory, Critter Garden, Mission Imagination and Cyberloft.
EdVenture really has too much to offer to pass up! For just $9.50 per child or adult, it's easily a complete day of famously hot fun for the kids - and even for the grown-ups, too! For a sneak peek, check out a few snaps from our trip on Columbia's Flickr page!
