    Hey, that looks cool. I’d be willing to do a trip there! It’s only a 1/2 day drive.

    Hmmm…I want to see it, too, but I also want to know about its peer-reviewed journal for education and play.

    No, I do not know exactly when this museum opened, but I suspect it is around the time of the article. My guess is early March?
