The Works

The Works is a hands-on museum for kids, located in Newark. We had a really fun day there back in March and all three kids found things they liked!

A play area for smaller kids. Parker liked going through the gate.

Part of the museum shows what the building used to be used for (metal works). The people are statues.

Larry the Glass Blower is on site and gives demonstrations. Here he is making a vase.

It was a fun adventure!
