Anyone who has kids or has to care for kids knows the feeling when you start your day. What are we going to do today? What will the kids really get a kick out of? What will fill a good amount of time? What\u2019s affordable?<\/span><\/p>\n

You can feel exhausted before you start, but stay with me. I\u2019m about to tell you about Explore & More – The Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Children\u2019s Museum<\/a>. This is Buffalo\u2019s newest addition to the family-fun roster around town.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start by addressing a few brass tacks:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Don\u2019t let the word \u201cmuseum\u201d fool you. It\u2019s only a museum because you can\u2019t say \u201ckick-*** house of fun\u201d in front of the kids. There\u2019s nothing old or stodgy about this brand new building and interactive experience. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 You can spend a half hour or half day inside and leave feeling fulfilled. There are four floors of fun to explore, with each floor offering multiple play zones.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 From the signature two-story waterfall in the \u201cMoving Water\u201d zone that greets you when you walk in, to the \u201cFarm-to-Fork\u201d zone housing the now-famous Betty-Lou-Moo cow, and everything in between, children of nearly all ages are sure to be engaged.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 The museum curators thought of everything. Explore & More was designed to be universally accessible to its patrons. There\u2019s a comfortable cafe on the lower level where you can eat. Family-friendly bathrooms and changing rooms are on every floor. There\u2019s even a quiet room where you can take a break from any sensory overstimulation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t
