Museo Pambata

For years I've passed-by Museo Pambata but haven't really gotten a chance to take  a look inside.  Museo Pambata is right along Roxas Blvd. near The US Embassy.  For just Php 100 a person, you can get to visit the museum, see their exhibits and learn while having fun.  For an establishment that been here for a couple of years now, it's nice to see that the displays and exhibits have been relatively well maintained considering the physical abuse the displays get from curious kids and naugthy visitors.  The air con inside the museum was surprisingly cold , a welcomed relief from the hot weather outside. Museo Pambata schedules presentations and events that help teach your kids about the Filipino Culture and children's advocacy's.  They also have a Library where your kids can listen to Story Telling Sessions, read books or watch educational tapes to stimulate your child's imagination and curiosity through reading books.
