Being winter time here, there isn't really a lot to do in the winter for the kids (unless it snows). So over the weekend we took a road trip down to Harrisburg to check out the State Museum's Curiosity Connection for kids. Curiosity Connection is a hands on play environment for kids ages 1-5 and their families. Time slots of 1 hour throughout the day have been created to provide an equal play opportunity, so we planned on attending the 2:30-3:30pm one.
We arrived at downtown Harrisburg around 2pm and found street parking (is free on the weekends). Walked to the museum, and got our tickets for the play session ($5/person), and didn't have to wait to long until it was our turn to go in.
As you can see from the photos below, there were many different activities for the kids to play with; farm, factory, school zone, playroom/tunnel, forest, and legos. It was a good time and I think the kids had fun.
Casey and I both feel that even though the Curiosity Connection was fun for our kids and closer to home, the Lancaster Hands-On House is still worth the drive (bigger, no time frame/session).
After our visit to the Curiosity Connection, we had dinner at Carrabas Italian Grill. We were definitely blessed, both kids ate there dinner while Casey and I got to finish ours in peace. Score!

I'm glad you went and checked it out. Too bad you are only allowed an hour, was that enough time? Nice pictures, looks like they had fun!
Yes, 1 hour was long enough. Tyler started getting tired near the end.
Looks like loads of fun! WHEN you come to visit me in Houston, you'll have to check out the Children's Museum - it rocks! Nice that you and Casey could enjoy your dinner in peace.
