Museum in a mall

The Southern Illinois Science Center, located inside University Mall in Carbondale, turned out to be the perfect place to take the boys. 


Stephen and Joe use a flight simulator.
My photos don't really do the museum justice, but here's a few more to give you an idea. 


Ollie chilled in the stroller.


Puppet shows.


Doodling.


Playing with mega blocs and stuffed snakes while flying tandem...

I wish I had taken a few sweeping views because the entire museum was one big room, about the size of a small anchor store. Between the live animals, puzzles, building sets, various simulators and larger than life science experiments, we could have stayed another hour beyond the 90 minutes we were there, but we had plans to meet up with my cousin, who attends SIU's automotive program.
