Over President’s Day Weekend, I took Field Trip Girl on a mommy daughter date to The Children’s Museum of La Habra.  Since 1977, The Children’s Museum at La Habra has provided young children and their families with exciting hands-on educational and cultural exhibits and programs.  From a hand carved carousel to a 1942 locomotive to rotating exhibits there is bound to be something for every child age 1-9 years old.

The Children's Museum of La HabraThe Children’s Museum of La Habra is located in North Orange County and consists of 10,000 square feet of exhibits.  Upon arrival, we first learned about the importance of water recycling.  Field Trip Girl enjoyed tossing pennies, which are donated to the museum, into their make believe river spring.

Next we were greeted by a very large dinosaur in the museum’s dinosaur exhibit.  Field Trip Girl tried to feed him a dinosaur egg, but he did not take the bait!  This made for a great photo backdrop though.

Field Trip Girl also played in their fossil excavation pit and discovered some ancient artifacts.

The Children's Museum of La HabraEvery year The Children’s Museum of La Habra serves hundreds of school groups, educators, preschools, early childhood care providers, homeschool families and scouting groups.  They even have a designated area for their younger guests which includes a small playground, padded play mats and a tree house.
