National Exploratorium Exhibition at Thanksgiving Point (and a Give-away!)

Last week, The Museum of Ancient Life at Thanksgiving Point opened it's first National Exploratorium Exhibition "Motors, Magnets and the Mind". It includes individual exhibits that feature hands-on activities. This traveling exhibition will be at Thanksgiving Point until September 2010 and is part of the regular admission to the museum ($10, adults; $8 children).

It's an exciting time at Thanksgiving Point. They now have an exclusive, five-year agreement with the Exploratorium Network to provide great, hands-on, learning exhibitions. They will be at the Museum of Ancient Life for the next two years until the completion of the Museum of Natural Curiousity.

Also, "Design Squad", a national PBS Kids show will be filming an episode at Thanksgiving Point's Museum of Ancient Life on Saturday, September 26th at 11:30 a.m. The public is invited to come and watch the live taping of the show and meet the cast. It's free. And if you want to stay and see the new "Motors, Magnets and the Mind" exhibit, PBS is offering their club members a two-for-one entrance with your membership card.

And finally, I have a family four-pack for free admission to the Museum of Ancient Life and therefore to the "Motors, Magnets and Mind" exhibit to give-away to one lucky reader of Utah Mom's Life Blog.

The rules are simple (as always):
1. You get one entry for leaving a comment on this post.
2. You get one entry for being a follower of this blog.
3. You can get a third chance to win by spreading the word. Post a link to Utah Mom's Life on your blog or Facebook and let everyone know about this give-away. Come back and tell me about it an additional comment on this post.


Good luck. The winner will be randomly chosen and announced on Friday, September 18th!

  2. Oh, I forgot, my wife has started a new service blog to help people find someone through whom to make their web purchases. This way it becomes easy to find a blogging friend who is a store associate who'll benefit from the purchase.

    It's a free service and is called Polka dot com. You can find a link at her blog http://readfromatoz.blogspot.com

    Hope it helps you make a little cash too!
