We went to SciWorks for the first time this afternoon. Caroline had a fantastic time chasing Aaron around and playing with the interactive exhibits. Unfortunately, I don't think she learned much. We ended our visit with a trip to the planetarium. She enjoyed (a little too loudly, perhaps) the portion on stars and constellations; but inexplicably freaked out when the video portion of the presentation started, so we had to make an early exit.
Tomorrow, Grampira (formerly Popie - his chosen moniker, since abandoned; Grampira is Cheryl's idea) and Grandma Libby will be driving up for a visit. Caroline should get all the attention she can handle for a few days.

You weren't put off by this?

On the second Friday of July and August, it's only a dollar a person from 4pm to 8pm. If we'd paid the full price, the treatment of animals might have bothered me, but not with the discount.
Actually, the kids ran right through these rooms to areas where they could play with stuff, so it barely registered. But I don't think I want to spend any more time or money there if they're mistreating animals.

My impression was that they weren't outright abusing them so much as neglecting to treat them humanely. The bird being heckled really disgusted me, though. They cannot be unaware that that happens, yet do nothing to prevent or staunch it.
