While on our Brisbane City Break we had planned to go to the Queensland Museum. Jon and I love the museum, and we go each time we stay in the city. This time we had Litle Miss Cooper with us, so it was a visit seen through a child's eye. Hubby hadn't been since the girls were little - and that was some time ago.
First stop was the Dinosaur Garden at the Grey Street entrance.
Cooper loved it.
Racing Pop to make energy.
Jon always enjoys it.
Dinosaurs Discoverers
Life-size replica of the Muttaburrasaurus. This Queensland dinosaur lived about 100 million years ago.
Stopping for snack at the cafe was good, and something that Jon and I had never done before. Peter always needs his caffeine fix :) The prices were reasonable and the selection of food, although not extensive, was great. A lot of healthy choices, and one of the best chocolate milkshakes. We'll add to our list for next time.
There were a lot of hands on things to do.
Museum staff showing Cooper how to pet the praying mantis. I kept my distance!
The exhibition that was on this time was collections. Peter took Cooper and Jon to the Indigenous area, so I could spent time in the collections area - I like to read everything.
At the entrance was a collection of number plates.
Loved this collections of teapots - I'm fighting the need to start my own, although my collections of tea cups is slowly increasing.
A collection of beer cans to equal Peter's.
Even a collection of washing machines - wow.
This is where I met up with Peter and Jon and Cooper. I showed all the snow globes while Peter and Jon went to look at the collections.
I have most of these dolls.
The last few exhibitions here have had an interactive section. This time there was a lot of plastic 'coasters' with various pictures inside and attached to a magnet. The kids (and adults) had to make collections of things.
Off on the next adventure!
Happy Travels
Allison
