there is a gift store and a posh Cafe Monet with soups, salads and sandwiches.
Enjoy.
=== Boonshoft Museum of Discovery/Dayton (children's) ===
This started off 100 years ago as the Dayton Society of Natural History. My
boys spent weeks at a time in the summer attending educational programs. My
oldest liked feeding the river otter and the snakes best. My youngest liked
when they went to the rivers and searched for fossils. Trilobites are Ohio's
state fossils. The Museum is a hands on accredited zoo, planetarium, has an
observatory, interactive science projects etc.
The current feature which will
still be here when scrabble players arrive, is a presentation of Dragons, myth
and the fine line between fantasy and reality. I highly recommend this museum
for children accompanying scrabble family members. Check times for planetarium
shows.
