El Museo Interactiva Mirado is a science museum for kids. It has much of the typical kids stuff, prisms and bubble play, but the layout and implementation was far above that of any museum we have in Houston—every interactive exhibit was like a work of art. And the architecture of the building was stunning, a combination of curved wood paneling and concrete that was just mesmerizing. The kids, of course, had a blast. I got to lay on a bed of nails. Here's a picture of me inside a mirror box.
We’ve been to children’s museums in Costa Rica, Zacatecas Mexico, Boston, Fort Worth and San Antonio. And I have to say that though we’ve had some fun times at our own Houston Children’s Museum, it ranks below all of these in terms of quality, use of space, educational elements, and general enjoyment. Maybe the folks there need to do a little world tour and learn from others.
