"Please Touch Museum" in Philadelphia

The morning after Sesame Place, we took Abby to the "Please Touch Museum" in Philadelphia. It was soooo cute! It is a completely hands-on museum for kids age 1 and up. We spent almost 3 hours there enjoying the many touching experiences.
Riding the carousel with daddy
The water tables were lots of fun. They had mechanisms for kids to manipulate the flow of water, to push the boats around. Abby liked picking the boats up out of the water and moving them around.
The rubber ducky pond....the ducks just circulated round and round, but boy was it entertaining for a toddler.

On the "BIG" piano! Just like the movie....it played when you walked on it.

Goldilocks (Abby) and the 3 Bears! So cute!

She climbed right into this canoe and put the life vest on all by herself as if it were 2nd nature...weird!
Sitting on the swan!
Weeeee!!! Down the slide on her back!
This was so cute. They had a whole section based on "Alice in Wonderland" with the Mad Hatter, Tea Party and all!
Here she is with Mike in the shruken room.

Our play tea party with the Mad Hatter and Rabbit. She would have stayed here an hour playing with the cups.

The front porch replica. She had to pick up and move the dog's bowl of all things!
Then she grabbed the broom and started sweeping.
In the Children's Hospital room. She loves babies, so this was probably her favorite part and could have stayed here forever too! Its hard to convince a toddler to move onto another room and leave baby dolls behind!
Doctor Abby! They had dress up clothes in some of the rooms too.
And she's off! The mock grocery store was adorable! You pushed your cart around, filled it up with all the food items you wanted, and then had to put it all back after you "checked-out" at the register.
FRUITS!
In the Kindergarten room, stacking blocks. She kept stacking and the 9th block always made the tower fall down!
