The Clinton Library hosts artifacts from the Clinton Presidency;
regardless of political affiliation this is truly an interesting
attraction to visit. The second level of the museum displays a
timeline of his presidency, along with a wide variety of artifacts.
The third level is a rotating exhibit; contact the museum to
find out what is currently on display.
FAMILY FRIENDLY PROS- The older children were very
interested by all of the things to see and the information provided.
There were some artifacts (such as letters) from celebrities that
peaked their interest.
FAMILY FRIENDLY CONS- Can be overwhelming for little ones due
to the fact that things are "hands off". Plan to keep the
visit short if traveling with young children.

Great variety of exhibits. The habitats are large and
animal friendly. The Kiwanis Kids Corner has a
playground and occasional animal presentations. Don't forget
to stop at the Children's Farm Petting Zoo.
FAMILY FRIENDLY PROS- Lots to see and a great way to get
energy out. Playground and petting zoo were very popular.
FAMILY FRIENDLY CONS- Be sure to bring a stroller for little
ones as it is quite a walk around the whole zoo. Also,
the bathrooms are quite a distance from some of the farther out
areas.

Friendly Travel Tip:
Older children can use time in the car or airplane to
learn a new craft. There are some great books
about learning to knit, crochet and cross-stitch.
Your child will be occupied and have a sense of
accomplishment when they have completed a project by the
end of the journey. |
