Discovery Play House

At the end of April, we took Hudson to Discovery Play House in Cape on a Sunday afternoon. As soon as we walked in, he was wide-eyed and ready to explore! He wanted to touch everything and play with everyone. Luckily, there weren't a ton of children there since they are only open for a few hours on Sundays.

He loves steering wheels so he thought he was pretty big stuff driving the huge firetruck!






There was one area with a maze of clear tubes on the ceiling. You insert a ball in the wall, and the vacuum system moves the ball through the maze and spits it out at the end. Thomas would stand where the balls would come flying out at the end, and Hudson thought it was hilarious when Daddy would get hit by the balls! It was a chore to get him away from all those colorful balls!




When walking by this toy station, Hudson saw a bowl on the little table. He immediately got that sneaky look on his face - he thought it was something he wasn't supposed to touch! Of course he went right for it anyways...




It didn't take him long to find the "boy toys." The table with the trucks, trains, equipment, and tracks was one of his favorites. There was an older boy playing at this table too. He was making a long track for his train. Hudson was following up right behind him… taking apart about every other piece that the poor kid had just put together!



They had a tunnel that Hudson thought was pretty cool too! As soon as he saw me on the other side, he went right through it (with some sort of truck in each hand, of course)!




There was a little sailboat built into the floor in the middle of one of the rooms. It was cushion pieces held together by velcro so you could easily break down and rebuild the boat. Hudson wanted to stay on the outside of the boat and try to pull the pieces apart.




When Daddy put him inside the boat to show him how to use the fishing pole, Hudson had a breakdown… It was nap time. Time to leave!




There were so many sections we didn't make it to, including the water area. They have little rubber cape/apron things to put on the kids so their clothes stay somewhat dry. I have a feeling Hudson still would have been drenched!
