During my time at the exploration place, there were many opportunities for children to experience physical integrated art as well as sensory exploration! There was an entire room dedicated to Kansas, where there was a fog machine to stand in, a water trough to push sand through, and a wind machine! There were special "discovery rooms" for children to learn more, as well as a live science show! The Dome Theater experience was also so fun! I interacted with many kids during my time there, and they all were having so much fun. So many were engaged and intrigued with each and every experience!

I absolutely love Botanica! There are so many opportunities for children to learn and see the true beauty of nature. In one section of the garden, there is a large play place with musical instruments for children to experiment with. There was also a designated Children's Garden, a carousel, and a Children's Library! Throughout the entire garden are plaques for children to gain knowledge, as well as interactive statues or games. I saw a few children there because I went during the week, but all of the interactions I saw were positive. The kids loved the carousel!

The zoo is my favorite place to go during nice weather! I went to the Children's Petting Zoo, and got to interact with goats, horses, sheep, and more! Throughout the entire zoo are statues, plaques explaining the animal, or activities such as boat or train rides! When I was entering the bird exhibit, there was a lady at a stand with a "Curiosity Station", where she showed different bird feathers and explained where they came from! There was also an outdoor wildlife learning center! I interacted with so many kids here, and they were all having such a fun time! One child even came up to my boyfriend and I to tell us about the turtles we were about to see!

Overall, my art experiences were exceedingly fun and knowledgable! I feel like I retained so much information about sharks, plants, and all different types of animals! My favorite art experience was the zoo because I love getting to see and read about all of the different animals. I also love getting to see all of the excited faces of children there!

I think all of the experiences I had would be amazing for field trips in my future classroom! I think the Exploration Place specifically would be great because of the changing themes. I think it would be a great idea to plan the theme of the week with the theme of the Exploration Place! The Botanical Gardens reminded me of how important it is to incorporate both music and plants into the classroom! Potting soil and seeds would be a great sensory activity! I think the Zoo would be a great field trip so that students can experience all wildlife and explore their sense of touch and expand their minds!
