Why museums and parks are great for kids
Museums and parks are great for kids because they provide opportunities for hands-on learning, exploration, and play. Museums can introduce children to history, art, science, and culture in a fun and interactive way, while parks allow them to get outside, exercise, and connect with nature. Both environments offer a break from screens and can inspire creativity, curiosity, and imagination in children.
