On Friday my mom and I took the three kids to a new children's museum in Irvine called Pretend City. This place was an amazing wonderland for the kids. I think we may have hit it at the exact right age for all three of them to enjoy it. I think they would have stayed there forever if we let them. Basically its a warehouse sized room with all the different things you would find in a city, such as a police station, post office, grocery store etc. I will say it again, they LOVED it. In fact I think someone better build one in Long Beach, or I may have to move to Irvine for the next few years.
Playing at the "beach"
Building a house, Audrey using the screwdrivers, Seth putting on siding and plumbing.
On to the giant Lincoln logs area:
The whold place has phones that all can talk to the dispatch. My kids didn't get into that, but maybe they will next time. They also had money, time cards and ATMs, but we didn't get to that level either.
Then there was the Marina. Lots of water, plastic coats to wear, and one section had blowers and sailboats, and Seth figured out exactly how to make them go with the wind all on his own.
Most of the time they all three were running in different directions, but at one point all three went to the theater/stage complete with music and lights and danced and sang and dressed up.
There was a restaurant including kitchen:
And a farm area with "dirt" to dig in and plant things and a harvesting area.
And the only non-pretend thing I saw, some chicks:
Seth spent a very long time driving this car around on all the roads and here is where he found a parking space and parked "perfect"
There was also a grocery store, doctor's office and art room. All in all the best place my kids have ever been.
