Lincoln's Birthday at ALPLM

A few weeks ago my husband & I were looking for something different to do with the kids and decided to try the ALPLM. I had been hesitant b/c what would a 3 1/2 and 1 1/2 year old think about a bunch of Abe Lincoln stuff? We had a GREAT time. They didn't want to leave. They loved the Lincoln's Ghost movie and the kids room. The man who works in the kids room is so nice and my kids just wanted to play in there forever. We also ate lunch there which was reasonably priced with PBJ and hot dogs for the kids. I think we were there for 3 hours and spent $30 on admission and lunch so I didn't think that was bad and when the weather is nice it would be lots of fun to pack a lunch and have a picnic at the Union Square Park.

We are planning on returning in February for the Lincoln's Birthday activities. They both now say "Abe Lincoln! Abe Lincoln!" when they see him around town so they did learn something as well!
