A Trip to Dallas


Gwendolen and I headed to Dallas to see the Children's Museum, which is inside the Dallas Museum of Nature and Science I've been to about 20 children's museums, in Boston, Brooklyn, Indianapolis, Chicago, San Diego, Cincinnati and elsewhere, both as research for the UnMuseum and as a parent of a toddler. The Dallas Children's Museum is pretty good, but offers nothing surprising or extraordinary. We had fun, as we always do, but Gwenny didn't like it as much as she did the Museum of Discovery in Little Rock.

The best was just outside the museum: a fabulous tongue-like sculpture that one can walk upon. It writhes around the shore and into Lenhardt Lagoon, providing turtles a place to hang and little girls a fun place to scamper.
