Early Childhood Education Zone Names the 25 Best Children's Museums in America

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- While museums have traditionally been a hands-off experience, children's museums are the opposite. They are an excellent way to combine learning with fun, providing an educational experience that keeps children engaged and sparks their imaginations. Early Childhood Education Zone has chosen the top 25 in America based on multiple criteria, including availability and variety of hands-on activities, food options, including restaurant access, if families can bring in their own food and drinks. Also, admission prices, membership benefits, restricted areas for toddlers and preschoolers, traveling exhibits and permanent adventures were all considered.
