A.C. Gilbert Discovery Village

Our first adventure was at the A.C. Gilbert Discovery Village in Salem, OR. It is a children's museum that is housed in three historic homes and includes a 20,000-square-foot outdoor discovery center. All the exhibits are hands-on experiences for kids of all ages. We explored as much as we could: dinosaurs, bubbles, the human body, rivers, China, a grocery store and a toy invention room. The outdoor structure was a huge hit with the everyone -- the girls even got me to go down the three story slide with them!
