Recently, I had one of the most incredible experiences. A friend of mine took me to the Paul Smith Children's Village and it was amazing. It is this place in Cheyenne, Wyoming built for kids. It is an educational center where one forgets they are being educated. There are areas to learn about water conservation, solar capabilities, and gardening.
There are places to run and play. There are also areas to sit in and even areas in which to hide.
Overall, it is a great place to be. It is also one of the best designed play/learn areas I have seen in my travels. It mixes history with technology and science and makes the learning experience a truly dynamic one. It is a great place to study if you are looking into designing an educational center that wows both kids and adults.
