Museums are a good way for families to spend time together. Museums help students better understand what they are being taught in school and it's fun and affordable.
Museums can help students learn complicated ideas at their own pace and gives parents a chance to help. Students get exposed to many subjects that may open them to new interests.
Most museums have been modernized to be more fun by giving them a chance to play games, make things move or even hear the sounds of animals. If your student seems more interested in video games, try exposing them to historical information behind the game's theme. For example if they play Madden NFL. Football, take them to museum that has football history.
Museums don't have to be expensive. Many museums offer free passes at local public libraries. Some museums have free days.
In Chicago all the museums have free passes at all of its public libraries at the front desk. There are limited number of passes so plan ahead.
