Hey when we are handed lemons, let's make lemonade. Right close by was the Museu Blau, Museu de Cienies Naturals de Barcelona and even from one hundred feet away I knew what that was! A Science Museum. A quick internet check showed that kids were free and at the ticket counter I asked if their teacher was free also. Si! Only 5euros (price for 1 adult to all exhibits) for a couple hours of exploration and fun.
We all had a great time! The exhibit - Planeta Vida was a wonderful discovery of three major concepts: the Biography of the Earth, the Earth Today and Islands of Science. Basically it had a ton of really cool interactive screens and audiovisual material which let the kids learn as much as they wanted about the topics that interested them.
The first for Mabret was the huge display of minerals from all over the world. Grandpa Martin would have loved it.
The most entertaining and gross was the temporary exhibit - Enverinats- The Most Poinsonuos Animals in Nature. This exhibit included 50 live animals such as rattlesnakes, tarantulas and scorpions.
While the exhibit did show us the purpose and uses of poison, as a defense against predators or to capture prey, we just felt lucky to have escaped Africa and India with getting bit or stung by any of those critters. Watch out, cousin Sarah lots of those bad guys live in Australia!
It was a bit cold and blustery outside but the boys enjoyed the playground equipment outside the museum.
