Digg this: a perfect distraction for your kids when you’re in town
Got some kids who you just can’t convince to walk the halls of the Portland Art Museum for the Degas, Forain and Toulouse-Lautrec exhibit? Can’t get them to sit still for the “4×4 Ballet” at the Schnitz either? (Your son might have even got angry when “ballet” followed the initially promising “4×4”.)
Now ask them if they want to see some really old stuff. And when then say “No way” say “OK, I thought you might like the dinosaur exhibit.”
Because OMSI is hosting the China’s Ancient Giants exhibit made up of the largest ever collection of Chinese dinosaur fossils. It includes 20 complete dinosaur skeletons (including a 67-foot-long Mamenchisaurus), interactive stations and even a “dig pit” where kids play at being real-life paleontologists.
That should buy you some time.
Cheers,
Emily
