Thing One, Thing Two, and Thing Three |
One fee gets you in to all five museums so you can do as much or as little in each one as you have time for. If you're hungry there is a cafe in the "Quadrangle" (as the complex is called) with light sandwiches and a good kids menu (hot dogs, pb&j, wraps and paninis). We stopped in downtown Springfield at Red Rose for their pastas and pizzas before the five minute drive over to the museums.

Looking for aliens on the moon |
The Fine Arts Museum has a nice collection of paintings with a strong emphasis on French painters. The boys and I had fun making up wild tales about the dark and brooding portraits in the the Dutch and Flemish galleries. The gallery also has special exhibits and when we were there the exhibit was on the Beatles. It was very weird looking at paintings that were hundreds of years old while the sounds of the 60's floated through the open galleries.

The museums are generally open 10:00 to 5:00 Monday through Saturday and 11:00 to 5:00 on Sunday. Check their website for more specifics, if there's something you definitely want to see on your drive through town. Admission for adults is $15 and kids 3-17 are $8. The Dr. Seuss sculpture garden is located within the complex so you do need to pay your admission before you can go ask Horton if he's heard a Who.
