Children's Discovery Gardens and the fountain


That afternoon after Boonshoft, we headed back out to to the Children's Discovery Gardens.  It has many of the features you'd expect in a garden, but it is set up in a child friendly way.  There is a sensory and music garden, several water features and hands-on activities.

 pump station and watering can pouring...a kid favorite!



We stayed at the park until Chris was done working and we went to dinner.  After dinner, we headed to the Riverscape Metropark.  Once we realized the giant fountain would only turn on at the top of the hour, we walked around until it started.  No wonder it only works for a few minutes an hour, it uses A LOT of water!
