Here is an interesting new service that could be a lifesaver for parents looking for an educational way to entertain their kids!
Science Days Out is a new iPhone app which promises to share the best science centers and other educational experiences in the US. It includes opening hours, websites, maps, pictures and , making it really easy to pick a place at the last minute, put the kids in the car and just go!
You can also see which attractions are closest to you and read reviews, as well as submitting your own.
All of the most famous kids’ favorites – the awesome USS Intrepid aircraft carrier in New York (did you know they put Concorde on the deck? – it’s amazing) and the Franklin Institute in PA, for example – are in there, although there are also plenty of smaller science centres in virtually every state.
It’s priced at $0.99, and there is an Android version is coming soon too if you don’t have a SmartPhone –but if you do, why not give it a go and let fellow Moms know what you think? Just visit the site below or search for “science days out” in the app store on your iPhone/iPod/iPad!

This is a great idea! Especially for those rainy days…especially when out of town so there’s a good option for something to do!
That sounds great! I used to take my kids to science centers when they were young. Now that my great nieces are growing to that age this will come in handy. We are always looking for things to do with them.
Very interesting – Can’t wait for the Android app – I know my kids would LOVE it!
Wish I had an iPhone
This is really useful and informative. iPhones seem like the thing to have.
Those iPhones sure do have some cool apps! Someday, when I am “techy” I may have one…LOL! Good post, thanks for the info. 🙂
sounds like a good one for those like me who like travel
