This children's museum is a jewel of Lynchburg. It is better than the Children's Museum of Virginia in Portsmouth, and is a strong rival to those in Greensboro, NC, and Bangor, ME. The exhibits are truly interactive, and teach everything from history to botony, engineering to nutrition, physics to music. Add to that what is essentially a playground of tubes that travels four stories up the center of the building to an observation tower at the top with free binoculars, and you've got a place you can spend the whole day and feel like your kids learned something valuable in the process.
