Their only interest will be moving through each activity at an inhuman speed, scream-talking at each other, touching literally everything aggressively, and descending into sensory overload. They’re going to enter into a brain state called “Children’s Museum Hyper Drive.” At this point and they won’t be able to hear you. If your kid is under the age of eight, I don’t really recommend trying to keep them still for very long. My husband and I proceeded to chase these two children around the museum attempting to engage them in scientific conversation for two hours. Why fight the motion of the ocean when your child is within eyeshot and they’re not going to stay in one place for very long anyway? This is a level of unbothered I have yet to achieve. Other, more seasoned parents plopped their butts in the middle of the room and let the chaos consume them. I think my daughter and her friend visited each center for approximately 6 seconds each, manically running from one side of the room to the other, completely forgetting that we were even present on this planet with them for the duration of the trip. I said ideally for a reason because that is not how these things tend to progress. The structure itself is impressive: it’s gorgeous, it’s got amazing natural light and like all children’s museums it has the same science-y, meant to be educational centers set-up so ideally the children will travel around the rooms calmly and ready to learn, waiting with bated-breath to listen to their adult read the neatly displayed factoids on the walls, and curiously engage in each activity fully comprehending and understanding the wonders of science and the natural world. The museum set up is quite simple: two floors partitioned off with different learning stations. Turns out after his five-minute speech, our friendly red-clad tour guide disappeared and unleashed chaos onto the building. One hour on the first floor, one hour on the second floor, eat lunch, two against two we had this in the bag.
#Knock knock museum registration
Upon arrival the staff handled the registration madness with ease, we caught up with our classroom, met our tour guide, and were paired off with our daughter and her best friend. It’s probably about twenty minutes from the Hammond area, about an hour and twenty from Mandeville. We pulled up a whole 20 minutes early, caffeinated, and prepared to take on the day as we waited outside the building with the other parents for the school buses to arrive. The ride out to the museum wasn’t nearly as grueling as the zoo had been, the facility is actually right off the interstate in City-Brooks Community Park. I had recently been on a Children’s Museum excursion in New Orleans with Northshore Parent, I was a seasoned veteran, and I was feeling confident.
Not me.) How Far is the Knock Knock Museum from the Northshore?Īfter Monday I was just relieved that the museum was indoors with air conditioning. (Obviously I didn’t invite my mother along because I was scared. He did not inform me that he also signed me up as a chaperone for the museum with him. My mom and I grabbed the zoo trip at the beginning of the week, my husband told me he was going to handle the museum. When chaperone forms came home in the teacher post, the main idea was I’d take one trip my husband would take another and that would be sufficient. Day 4 of adventure week was the Knock Knock Children’s Museum in Baton Rouge. A BIG weeklong step but I guess we’ll take what we can get at this point. But I do know that by the time the year was almost over, the state had given our school permission to resume field tripping around town. Do other schools do that? Is that a novel coronavirus special? I don’t know.
Maybe I’m just inexperienced, but that just felt like a lot. If you hadn’t already heard, my daughter’s school (due to COVID restrictions or otherwise) felt it would be a good idea to slam four field trips into one school week. And also that’s just how my brain works so we’re going to roll with it. Why? Because it is the other family fun time Baton Rogue activity that I’ve recently tried during my daughter’s field trip “adventure week” for her Pre-K class. This is going to be the partner review to my BREC Baton Rouge Zoo trip review.
