Today we finally kicked ourselves into gear and got started on using our Cultural Passes. The city of Louisville started a great program this summer, thanks to the Louisville Ideafest! Every child gets a cultural pass and it gives them free admission to lots of Louisville museums and parks. If you visit 8 places then you get entered into a drawing to win Broadway tickets. Pretty cool!
So today we visited the University of Louisvilles Planetarium...for free. 1 adult is included. It was quite dizzying. Not sure I ever want to go back! However, as a science teacher I enjoyed the presentation on the planets, stars, nebulas, galaxies and constellations. We saw the video that was geared toward younger kids which was perfect for our crew. Although there was a bit too much zooming around for me! I felt a bit sick afterwards! The kids had lots of fun though and asked great questions. We will try to knock out a few more museums this week!
