Quick Stop...The Children's Museum of the Brazos Valley

On our way to visit the Clara B. Mounce Public Library in Bryan, we discovered a little children's museum right across the street from it.  In an historic building that used to be Bryan's Police Station and Jailhouse, is located The Children's Museum of the Brazos Valley.  Since we had other plans, we didn't get to stay long, much to Peyton's disappointment.  The nice young ladies working the front desk allowed us to take a look around and take some pictures.

The museum kind of reminded me of a much scaled-down version of Houston's Children's Museum.  Exhibits included a spaceship center, an HEB grocery store, a music corner and a reading area.  The children present seemed to really be enjoying themselves.  As we made our way upstairs, we passed a few boys making paper airplanes, testing them out down the stairwell.  A couple of girls were playing a rather large game of checkers, while others were reading.

 

  

I did not notice much use of any technology in the museum.  One flat-screen television hung on the wall near the entrance, broadcasting information to patrons.  Other than that, I don't remember seeing anything else.

This was a cute little museum, that seems to still be in development.  There is plenty of educational activities to entertain young children for a couple of hours. 

The cost of admission is $5 per person, and seniors can get in for $4.  I feel like this price is kind of high, considering it only cost $8 for The Children's Museum of Houston, and that place was HUGE!!  I would think that $3 for adults and $2 per child would be more appropriate.  But, I guess they're trying to raise money for the museum, so it's going to a good cause!
