This month I’m talking about family friendly activities in Jackson, MS!
A few weeks ago I had some family come into town.  My Uncle and his wife along with their 3 kids.  We wanted to share some great family friendly experiences with them while they were in town!  We had originally planned on going to the Jackson Zoo, but the chance of rain made that a little difficult, so we decided on the next best thing – The Mississippi Museum of Natural Science!  The museum has some really great animals within it along with skeletal replicas and stuffed animals on display.  They have videos and shows going on throughout the day and they have multiple trails that you can walk for leisure!  It’s a great place for kids that encourages learning and activeness, but also keeps things interesting for adults!

At the beginning of this maze, you spin the wheel and whatever animal it lands on, you have to search through the maze for that animal.
We were there right as the scuba diver went in to feed the fish.  It was so neat!  You always feed the stingray first because even though he wouldn’t intentionally harm you, he will sting you if he’s hungry and you’re not feeding him.
Yes, please take a look at this TWO-HEADED SNAKE!!!
Do you see the CLAWS on this thing!? Oh my geez…
There are all kinds of skeletal displays

Please tell me you’ve heard the story of the teddy bear?!  If not, READ NOW!
About to play Leap Frog!
Loving this action shot!  Just Kids at Heart!

    This looks like such a fun place! I wish we had more museums near by! Mike has lots of little cousins and 2 goddaughters and this would be an amazing place to bring them.
