Calgary Farmers’ Market location has a Barn Themed play area

Overall Assessment:
I had heard that the new Calgary Farmers’ Market location had a play area, but didn’t expect it to be anything like this. Rather than the collection of panels I had thought it would be, it is like a smaller version of an indoor play centre. Gordie had a great time. His favorite thing was climbing into the tractor on the 2nd level and peeking down at me. We went on a Thursday (btw it doesn’t open until 11 on Thursdays) and even then it was fairly busy. I would expect that will generally be the case over the summer. I’d recommend trying to eat before noon if you are there for lunch as it is a very popular location with the employees from the local businesses.
This is definitely a great place to take the kids if you are wanting to go to a farmer’s market or want to go to a food court with some choices that are different from the usual.

Innovation is Child’s Play Drives 25th Annual InterActivity Conference.

From May 19th- 21st, 2011, the global children’s museum community will converge on Houston, Texas, for the Association of Children’s Museums (ACM) InterActivity conference. Children’s Museum professionals are traveling from the United States, Canada, China, Jordan, Mexico, Quatar, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan and United Kingdom to explore the vital role children’s museums have in building children’s 21st century skills and in connecting with audiences in new ways. The conference will be held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Houston and then there will be special evening events hosted at the Children’s Museum of Houston, the Heritage Society, and the Houston Zoo.

The InterActivity 2011 conference will be hosted locally by the Children’s Museum of Houston (CMH), which recently was named the #1 Children’s Museum in the country by Parents Magazine. The InterActivity 2011 conference features science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) teaching strategies, tactics for extending exhibit inquiry via mobile devices and thoughts on promoting risk as a necessary experience for personal and institutional growth. The ultimate goal of the InterActivity 2011 conference is to provide children museum professionals with education and resources to take back to the children and families in their communities.
