Yesterday we visited the Shenandoah Valley Discovery Museum, located in Downtown Winchester. The kid's favorite exhibits included the Simple Machines (playing with apples) and the Raceway room (rolling golf balls).
The stop was a nice break from our two-hour drive home, and even nicer since we have a reciprocal membership to the Harrisonburg Children's Museum. This means we can visit most (probably all but I haven't verified that) children's museums in the country for free. The money spent on a membership is well worth it if several museums are located near you, or your family travels often.
If your family finds yourself in the Winchester vicinity then stop at the museum for some play time. The museum itself is small, but the exhibits are all interesting and your child(ren) will find their favorite and probably want to spend hours there.
After your visit take time to explore the Downtown Pedestrian Mall, where the Museum is located. Better yet, plan a date (while the weather is still warm since it is an outdoor mall) with your girlfriends and head out without kids. There is a lot to explore, stores, boutiques, bakeries and restaurants.
With or without kids Downtown Winchester is worth the time to explore and enjoy.
