DC Playseum

A new Playseum recently opened in DC so we decided to check it out. The set up is the same as in Bethesda but with different rooms to visit.

Our first stop was prison! Yep, Kylee handcuffed Daddy and stuck him behind bars. : )


The restaurant area was a big hit for Kylee and Ryland. Kylee was very attentive to her customers (Daddy and Ryland) and was sure to keep bringing them plenty of food. There was even and area where you could make your own pasta. We didn't do that this time but maybe during a future visit.

The shopping at this playseum was more like a market instead of a grocery store. Kylee and Ryland each took a basket and started filling it up with all kinds of goodies. Ryland was excited to see so many fruits and vegetables that he recognized.

There was a farm room with tractors and "horses" to ride.

The beach was another popular place (especially since it didn't require Kylee actually getting her feet dirty. Ha!)

Downstairs there were a couple of different things in one room. A train table (which Ryland spent A LOT of time at), a kayak (which Kylee seemed to enjoy), and a stage with musical instruments (we all enjoyed that one!).

Other than the market, the room that seemed to be the most popular with Kylee and Ryland was the Dominos Pizza store. They could use the computers to take our orders. Kylee took this job very seriously as you can see from the expressions on her face. Then after preparing our order, there were toaster ovens there to cook the food. At first I was disappointed that it wasn't a huge pizza oven like the one in Bethesda but this actually turned out better for our two. They could both reach the ovens perfectly and were able to turn the knobs and everything. So, they really enjoyed the "cooking" part.

We took lunches with us to eat while we were there. One of the kids' new favorite lunches is a fluffernutter. They both ate their whole lunch ... and I couldn't resist a few marshmallow face pics. : )
