The kids and I were able to experience the new exhibit first hand and it was a lot of fun. From the many interactive 'attractions' to the highlights about each state with just enough 'teaching' for the kids to learn but not know they were. Being a New England girl I loved seeing parts of back home. From the Lighthouse in ME, 
to Fenway Park in Boston, MA, the boats with Newport, RI, and Mount Washington and the Old Man in the Mountain for New Hampshire. I loved being able to tell my daughter first hand experiences I had in these places and give her a little more history.
Of course there is way more than just lil old New England. All 50 states are represented. And each one highlighted with what they are known for. And the kids loved seeing it all. From Rockets, to Old Faithful, to surfering the waves, to dog sledding. It is truly an adventure that is fueled by their imagination.
