Children's Museum of Spokane

We have learned from touring with grandchildren that children's museums are great places for break time. You can spend as much or as little time as you wish (and the kids will allow) and, when they get back in the car, everything is quiet once more.
  We have found that most children's museums have their own individualities. That certainly is a blessing because you can stop at more than one as you drive across the country. Spokane's certainly surpassed our expectations.
  We were making a list of the exhibits and were told that the exhibits change routinely. At the time they had a mock, true-to-life, Greek village. Visiting kids get to don costumes and play like they are Greek kids. Another fascinating exhibit was called "Under the Falls". This teaches kids (and adults) about the power, tenacity and peculiarities of water and the important role it plays on earth. It even gets into the physics of surface tension, etc., all in a way that kids really comprehend it all. Quite amazing.

  From I-90 take exit 281 to Division Street (US-2/395). Keep to the left on the off-ramp to allow you to turn left (northbound) onto S. Division Street.  Turn left and head north to downtown. At W. Riverside Avenue (one block after Sprague Ave), turn left. Drive west on Riverside to Monroe Street (9 blocks), turn right and turn right again at the next block (Main Ave). Go the 2 blocks back to Post Street. The museum in in about the middle of the block to your left (110 N. Post Street). The reason for (what appear to be) confused directions is that these are all one-way streets. It is almost like, "You can't drive there from here - but you can walk it." Find a convenient parking ramp; there are several near by.
