The McWane Center in Birmingham Alabama: An Adventure For Kids and Adults

Yesterday I took my grandson the the McWane Center in Birmingham and we had a ball.  That darned Tristan's eyes were so lit up with all the stuff to do, he didn't know which way to turn first.  For a while there, I just watched him literally go in circles trying to decide what to do first.

If you're local to Birmingham, the McWane Center is a great way to entertain the kids as well as be entertained by them.

For 2 1/2 hours straight, Tristan literally ran through the McWane Center in an attempt not to miss out on anything the center had to offer:

Pretty cool!  A mix of things, not just a typical children's museum!  Surprised at the aquarium shots!

We've got a good kid's museum both in Cincy and Columbus, but no fish!
