I found it, and I wasn’t even looking for it.

The best children’s museum is in Philly. Some friends went on their way up to Sesame Place. We decided to go on our way home.

Matthew was actually excited to go, but he needed to use the bathroom and didn’t want to sit for a photo.

He was much happier when we got inside and saw the water exhibit. He spent a lot of time making his boat go through the canal.

Every room had a special toddler area for the 3-and-under crowd. This nature area had a slide, a tunnel, and some lily pads that made animal sounds when you stepped on them.

Downstairs we found a mini-city, with a construction site, hospital, grocery store, and bakery.

There was a little play house, too, with a garden and a front porch.

We ate lunch at the Please Eat Cafe.

The other upstairs section featured transportation. Can you guess how happy we were about that?

We stayed for about four hours, but we could easily have stayed longer. Seriously fun.
