This place looks really neat. My bean isn’t old enough to go there yet. If I did take her I can envision her running from hole to hole stealing everyone’s golf balls. I’m not planning a visit for a while with her, although my husband is dying to go- maybe I’ll take him instead.

Picture is from Roman T. from Yelp. Read his review.

The glow in the dark mini golf is by the Putting Edge company.

Get creative with Art Adventures, a one-hour gallery program that’s part tour, part art lesson, and part family teamwork. You’ll join a small group led by a gallery teacher, who will introduce you to a handful of artworks revolving around a theme, such as portraits or artists as storytellers.

Working as a team, your family will use what you see to tackle fun, hands-on drawing, writing, or drama projects that help you look closely and think creatively about works of art. Whether you sketch royalty or script your own dramatic performances, you’ll come away with your own artistic treasure.

How to Participate
Sign up at the Museum Information Desk beginning at 1:30 p.m. on the day you’d like to participate. The program is geared for families with children ages 5 and up.

Toys R Us has Return and Exchange policy lets you return or exchange items within 90 days. (for Online purchases it’s 30 day return policy) This is extremely unreasonable for a new parent. I received bunch of diapers and baby bottle accessories such as replacement nipples at my baby shower, which I had about a month and a half before the due date. My little bean ignored the due date and was born two weeks after. By the time I knew how much my baby bean weighed I only had one month to figure out when my little one would grow out of the newborn size diaper.

By the time I was ready to exchange unopened newborn diapers and first stage bottle accessories for more appropriate sizes because my little one out grew them so fast, toys r us refused to even exchange the item for a bigger size for me. It created so much waste and now I am stuck with unopened unused baby items that I cannot use!

Toys r us should have better exchange policy for newborn items letting you at least exchange items for bigger size for unopened items.

If anyone is planning to create a registry do not create one at Toys R us, you might be stuck with boxes of unused baby items.

The Tord Boontje shadow light is an amazing piece or art. I wish i had one… They are, err, were tremendously expensive, but super cool. I wish I had some pictures for scale. I’m going to venture off and make something similar. Wish me luck..!!!
