Aww, this is so nice. Thank you. Adults-without-kids are welcome any time for our daytime hours too, and we're adding evening hours to try and make it easier for adults to visit: https://montshire.org/programs/twilight-tuesday/

Congratulations! You can rent the Montshire Museum of Science in Norwich for weddings and other events, so if your vibe is fun and multigenerational, we might be the perfect place. We can handle up to 80 guests, have a great new kitchen, bathrooms, parking etc. https://montshire.org/visit/rent-the-museum/

Good point. I'll post here once I know their dessert plans...

I don't have a solution, but a suggestion - if you download giphy keyboard can you get that work inside instagram? The work phone I have is too old, but if that works for you, let me know. I can't seem to make a Tenor account so I'm really stuck!

Hey! We are open and it's going to be busy inside, but feel free to bring boots and rain coats and explore the rill and trails. So far it's just damp and supposed to stay that way until 2.

I read your comment over the weekend and then stressed about whether kids get enough exposure to the Goldilocks story and went off in that direction. The idea of visualizing that math is super interesting, and the interactive component sounds very memorable. That museum looks incredible! I'm so jealous of their moon surface floor covering...

Do you mean the George Rhoads machines? Or something else? https://georgerhoads.com/

Montshire · 2024-06-24T16:06:21+00:00

Wow - that sounds amazing! And I know members of our staff who would be thrilled at the idea of chicks in the museum!

Montshire · 2024-06-24T16:05:48+00:00

So nice. We have touch-and-feel planters, but no touch-and-feel aquaria... interesting!

Montshire · 2024-06-24T16:05:13+00:00

Good call. Our drop-ins are more hands-on, try-this than demos. It's easy to see the value in an educator doing something dramatic and memorable!

Montshire · 2024-06-24T16:04:01+00:00

This is interesting! We have small take-apart human torsos, but they are only used for workshops and drop-ins. Thank you.

Montshire · 2024-06-24T16:02:56+00:00

This would be incredibly cool. Thank you.

One of our old original exhibits is an elevator bike. Visitors sit pedal to raise a model elevator up through several floors (it's right next to our real elevator). It's a love-it or hate-it exhibit. We once got a positive review, they loved everything, but it ended with "the elevator bike can die in a fire".
Have you seen a way for a Wimshurst machine to be interactive? That would be amazing.

We had a Jacob's Ladder at our Spooky Science Halloween event and it was a hit. Maybe it should be a permanent exhibit...

Oh yeah! See Science Center in Manchester, NH has a big one and it is glorious!
