“Thank you Hands-On Museum! The field trip was really fun and I enjoyed the ball machine in the STEAM park, the water area, and the ramp ball machine. I really liked how you could change the tracks to make the path of the ball different. Anyway, Thank you very much for giving us a place to eat, play and have fun!”

Best wishes, Jackson

All children deserve moments of discovery and wonder!
