We met up with a group of friends at the Seuss Museum in Massachusetts a week or so ago and we had a great time.
The house is so colorful and share a communal sculpture garden with a few other museums in the area (that we also toured!).
Everything was so colorful and fun!

Theodore Seuss Geisel was born and raised in Springfield, Massachusetts so there were a few rooms in the house that were all about him and his ties to the region. We got to see some of his drawings and where the inspiration came from for some of his books and stories. There were family photos and even a room set up with his drawing desk and other personal items.
Even though it was a pretty chilly day we took quick walk around the sculpture garden too.

While it was a lot of fun my boys were a bit bored and embarrassed and kept claiming that they were too old for the museum since most of the activities and toys were geared towards much younger kids.

Local Tourist,
We went here as well last year and love it soooo much!
ReplyDeleteIt is such a fun museum.
DeleteI would love to go there!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVED it.
DeleteYou know I adore this post as read my boys every Dr. Suess there was numerous times. They would’ve loved this museum.
ReplyDeleteI love his books but there were one or two that the rooms were themed after that I hadn't heard of!
DeleteHow fun! I didn't know about this museum. If we're ever in this area, we'll have to go and visit :)
ReplyDeleteIt's really cute!
DeleteOh my goodness what an experience. I would love to take my kids here, we are big Dr Seuss fans! Great pics too! #ExplorerKids
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteIf you ever have a chance to check out a Seuss art exhibit, your boys would probably enjoy it. We have a gallery in town that houses lots of the art he created before he became a children’s author and illustrator. It’s fascinating to see how his art inspired his most famous work. ��
ReplyDeleteOh I bet that would be really neat to see!
DeleteThis is on my to do list for that part of the state. We have a family member who will be attending college out that way and when we visit I have a list of other things to do while we are there.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of fun things around!
DeleteOh wow, this place is great. My children would love it here :) Thanks for sharing at The Wednesday Blog Hop, hope to see you again soon.
ReplyDeleteI was like a kid in a candy store and my boys were rolling their eyes. I thought it was just so adorable and loved seeing so many of my favorite characters up close.
DeleteAw, this looks like such fun! I love that some of the rooms were themed toward books, and that sculpture garden is awesome. #localtourist

I loved that the rooms were themed around books too; not all of them were but many were.
DeleteI need to make the drive out there!!
ReplyDeleteIt was super cute and the admission to this museum includes admission to 4 others as well.
DeleteOh Wow! You are so lucky! I'd love to go to Seuss museum too. I really love the Saxophone lighting. I'd love to one of those in our playroom please - if and when I have a playroom to hang them. We went to see Dr. Seuss in a theatre once, but Ethan was just too small at that time and he didn't managed to sit still. Oh well, hopefully we can go again soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for linking up with us on #ExplorerKids
I just loved all the little details like that light. It was such a colorful and playful feeling museum.
DeleteIt looks so amazingly colourful! I would love to visit - shame we are in the wrong country for it! Sarah #ExplorerKids
ReplyDeleteIt was very, very colorful.
DeleteWhat fun! I didn't even know this place existed! Thanks for sharing at the April Take Me Away Party!
