Children's Discovery Museum's Play Your Way

The Children's Discovery Museum (CDM) in San Jose held a private "Play Your Way" event for autistic kids opening their doors after hours for families to come and visit the museum.

Peyton and I have been to the CDM once before, on a play date with friends of ours and their two kids. James wasn't able to come then so he was excited to see the museum tonight.

Enjoy these shots taken during our time there!

Riding the fire truck:



















 

 Tobogganing indoors!






















Mammoth remains have been found in the San Jose area so there's a large display on mammoths.






















Just how heavy was a mammoth?





















It turns out one mammoth weighed as much as a car, bus and group of people put together!







Learning more about the mammoth:




















They have a wall puzzle where you have to piece together the bones of a mammoth.




We headed upstairs to a special room they have with all sorts of fun interactive learning centers.





















There's a small train that loops around the exterior of the CDM in the adjoining park. Of course, we had to ride in it. Peyton chose to ride in the back as it was the only orange car. Peyton's favorite color is orange so we always find ourselves selecting orange things....
























It was a wonderful evening and we look forward to going back to the CDM!
