Having grown up in the Philadelphia suburbs, I can say, hands-down, one of my favorite attractions of all time is the Franklin Institute. Granted, I've always been a bit of a science geek. But, the Franklin Institute really offers excitement for children (and adults) of all ages!
One of things I love is their rotating exhibits. Each year, I know there will be an interesting and education attraction to bring my kids to. I'm really excited about their newest exhibit, The Science Behind Pixar.
As a fan of Pixar, this exhibition so incredibly interesting. And since my kids love Pixar movies as well, it's a win-win! This exhibit, which runs through September 5, 2016, offers 8 different sections, giving a behind-the-scenes look at the creation and production process: modeling, rigging, surfaces, sets & cameras, animation, simulation, lighting and rendering. Kids will enjoy getting a chance to see recreations of their favorite Pixar characters (hello Buzz Lightyear, Dory, Mike and Sulley, Edna Mode, and WALL•E!), and get involved in hands-on activities.
This is definitely an exhibit you and your family do NOT want to miss!
The folks at The Franklin Institute are kindly giving away a Family 4-Pack of tickets to The Science Behind Pixar to one of my fantastic readers! Just enter below!
