My daughter and I recently visited the Eau Claire Children's Museum in Wisconsin. I was relieved to find that this was a small museum and wasn't going to be to overwhelming for my daughter. The admission was only a mere $5 per person. Hard to find anywhere that doesn't charge less than $10 these days. The museum is set up into fun, interactive locations. You will find a grocery store, diner, theater, the human stomach and a post office. I loved that it was okay for the kids to touch everything and experiment with it's functions. The basement hosts a large water structure where kids can see the affects of moving water by putting on a smock and getting wet themselves! I would definitely go back there when in town again.
