McWane Science Center

Today we visited the McWane Science Center in Birmingham, AL. They have a lot of really neat exhibits and several areas designed for really little kids. They have a neat little aquarium with several fish tanks and an area where you can touch small sharks and sting-rays. They also have a dinosaur exhibit with several dinosaur skeletons and a pretend fossil dig site for the kids to play in. Here are some of the pictures from the day. Enjoy!

These were cool video screens. You stood between the projector and the screen and your shadow impacted the way the video acted. This one had falling coins and they would pile up when they hit an obstacle. Here is Allan collecting a bunch of coins!
