Brazos Valley Children's Museum

While talking with a friend from school, I recently found out that the city of Bryan has a children's museum. It was founded in December of 1995 when Texas A&M professor Dr. Dale Whittaker decided to pursue a dream of creating a non-profit children's museum that would encourage children to have a hands-on approach to educational activities, including art and science experiments. There are eleven exhibits for children to take part in, including a grocery store for children, upside down room, a Volkswagon bug for children and adults to paint on and a health and fitness area. The success of the Brazos Valley Museum is due in part to the tremendous support from volunteers. The museum is a great place for children to spend an afternoon having fun while learning.
