Children's Museum of Memphis

Kids rejoice! At this museum, you're supposed to touch everything! Hands-on, interactive exhibits and activities for children are the focus here. Exhibit topics range from waterworks to health, recycling to house construction, money to transportation. The special Art Smart area has costumes and puppets for performing plays, as well as painting, sculpting, and weaving. Transportation exhibits have a motion simulator, hot air balloon, even a mini-van that kids can "drive" and "repair." One of the most popular exhibits is the Skyscraper – a multi-level, vertical maze for kids over four. Tots have their very own Playscape – with a toddler-size treehouse, and a host of other stuff for little ones to explore.
