Mommy Group: Zimmer Children's Museum

A few weeks ago Tyson and I took a trip with the Mommy Group to the Zimmer Children's Museum. It is a museum in LA hand on exhibits for children 0-8 to explore. I didn't know this before I went there but most of the exhibits have a Jewish culutral theme. I thought it was pretty awesome because Tyson could play and learn a little more about part of his heritage.

When we first entered there was a mock Western Wall. I learned that this is an important Jewish religious site in the Old city of Jerusalem. Just as on the real wall, there are many prayer notes slipped into the crevaces of the wall. It is said that over a million notes are placed on the wall each year. They are removed twice a year and buried on the Mount of Olives.


There were all different kinds of rooms in the museum, each with a theme. There was a children's synagogue where they had a Torah that you could scroll through and a little play synagogue. Tyson enjoyed playing with the people in there and making them sit in the chairs.



There was a BIG ambulance on one side of the museum. Tyson and his friend Alex tried to take it for a joy ride. It was so cute looking at them pretending to drive with their little heads sticking hardly seeing out the window.

There was a room with a kitchen and dining table where Tyson decided he was gonna go grocery shopping and then eat the fake food for lunch.

His favorite room was the Bouncy room. He was running around and falling everywhere. We stayed in this room the most.

Then he proceeded to go to the community board and I think he spelled out his name. Can you find it?
We had to leave our hand prints on the board so everyone knew we were there.
Upon exiting there was a huge plane. Tyson loves planes. Every time he hears one in the sky he stops whatever he's doing and looks up trying to find it yelling "Plane, plane". So of course he had to go inside and try to give it a fly.


my little co-pilot looked like he knew exactly what he was doing. He was having so much fun here he didn't want to leave. I'm sure we'll be back again some day.
