Toledo, Ohio for our first time to check out the Imagination Station. The Imagination Station promises visitors of
every age a multi-sensory experience that’s as fun as it is educational. About an hour from Canton it was a fairly decent drive to Toledo – although I would leave some extra time for parking which can be a little troublesome. It was a quick wait to get in and through the
admissions. There are a few add-ons for
admissions to check out such as special exhibits and the Simulator which can be found on the website or at the bottom of this post.

No one in our group did the cycle as my girls didn’t want to see their
Mama up there. The BOYO is very cool

‘Eat-It-Up’ section. The girls loved
playing the Heart Rate Rally over and over again to see what their heart rate
was before and after they hit the lighted buttons. While we were there, they were also doing a
science experiment with an egg and vinegar – turning it rubber! Lots of fun activities to do in this
exhibit.

a hit with the girls, and their grandparents as well! The Vortex Pool was fun to play with and showed

Hurricane feels like! Definitely nothing
we experience here in Michigan.
landing space for an egg. It was going
to be dropped through a tube at three varying heights to see if it landed
safely or if it broke. You had to build
the landing space out of only six pieces of paper and masking tape. My four year old did the experiment and our
egg did not break. She was so excited to
write her name on the board!
check everything out. We will definitely
be going back again! The Imagination
