Some of the places we visit in the summer:We've provided links to their web sites or to local sites that provide a little more information (location, phone number, admission prices, etc.) wherever possible. We encourage you to take a family "field-trip" to any of them!Butterfly Pavilion and Insect Center: Here we learned about all types of insects -- we even held a tarantula! We touched sea creatures too. Our favorite part was walking with the butterflies! Denver Zoo: Can you guess what we saw here? Did you know that a giraffe's tongue is as long as my arm? (We learned that at the zoo.) Denver Puppet Theater (The Frog Prince): Before the show we made our own stick puppets and had a chance to play and put on our own shows. Fire Station: The fireman put the ladder all the way up to show us how high it goes -- he took our picture from up there (we sure looked small!) Tiny Town and Train: These little buildings were just our size. We even went inside some of them. We had a great ride on the train; some of us even rode in the caboose. Chuck E. Cheese: This was just plain FUN! Belleview Park, Train and Petting Farm: We learned how to behave around farm animals so we wouldn't scare them and they let us pet them. Heritage Square Children's Theater (Pinocchio): Some of us went up on stage and were part of the show! Good job, guys! Children's Museum: There was so much to do here: We got lost (and found) in a life-size maze, we learned how people in wheelchairs do things we take for granted, we even built things out of wood using real tools. Lair O' the Bear Park(Beavers Build a Better World): We took a hike guided by a naturalist volunteer from Lookout Mountain Nature Center. She taught us all about the beavers that used to live here. The cost of field trips varies. Please check with the Directors. |
