Where you can touch everything. Sounds as if you can take Jo out of New York but you can’t take the New York out of Jo.

I have always found that museums (where you cannot touch) are better off with one child at a time.

I only took them all together when in a museum like Science and Industry. Where you can touch everything.

This is great. Glad to see me and my husband aren't the only ones dragging our kids around to suffer through cultural events. <br/><br/>Too bad most of the cultural lessons are coming from TV! Ha!

Well, San Francisco hosts a "Dance-Along Nutcracker" every year, and I'm dying to go. I think the tolerant atmosphere might make for a good toddler outing. <br/><br/>Q's been to a number of small dance performances with us. He's quite happy to sit and watch dances . . . if the music is good. If the music isn't good (and he has pretty good taste), it's all over. Small critics, what can you do? Pontillism – I’m very impressed!

The Metropolis near Way Down in Mayberry has two things that are quite special:
*Once a month concert that is only 45 min. long….after, the kids get to go and play the instruments themselves and discover and talk to the musicians.
*Once a month at art museum, kids get a brief history on a particular art that is being displayed, then they create their own art through exploration with certified art instructors.
ALL FREE!
Good for you for trying to enject a little cul-chah!

I took my kid to the Nutcracker this year, and she was good, but I'd prepped the hell out of her. When I took her to her first movie, she demanded that we leave about half way through. Not sad, scared - just done. Hey, all you can do is keep trying. I took my kid to the Nutcracker this year, and she was good, but I’d prepped the hell out of her.
