King Tut Exhibit NYC


King Tut Exhibit NY


About a week ago my family and I visited the King Tut Exhibit hosted by Discovery! We toured with an audio guide. It was the first time I used the device. You just pressed the number of the display and the audio guide told you all about whatever you were looking at! It was great. You could go at your own pace and repeat something if you wanted to hear it again. There was room after room filled with artifacts found in King Tut’s Tomb. Although King Tut is actually NOT part of the exhibit, there are so many artifacts that it really does not even matter. There are chairs, masks, games, tools, etc. even one of the six chariots that were buried in the tomb with him! After the exhibit we also watched the King Tut 3d movie. It was short, but very interesting. If you get a chance to see the King Tut exhibit, give it a try. It will be there until Jan. 1st, 2011, then it heads back to Egypt. I’m glad that I did not miss it!

Dorney Park for Halloween

Dorney Park for Halloween Fun!

Over the weekend my family and I visited Dorney Park in Allentown, PA. We went for some early Halloween fun! Every weekend the park is open 10-5 for little kids. It’s called Boo Blast!We had fun seeing the Peanuts gang, Trick or Treating, fun rides, shows, and even a costume contest!(Emily even won a little Snoopy stuffed animal for “Sweetest Witch!” lol) Camp Snoopy as well as ALL the rides are open from 12 noon.

The park closes the kiddie rides at 5pm to get ready for the evening fun! The night fun is called “HAUNT” with 13 fearful attractions. There are seven outdoor haunted mazes, four indoor haunted houses, and two live shows. On top of that there are over 400 lives creatures lurking about..So, if you don’t want to be scared at Haunt you have to exit the park by 6pm, that is when the nite attractions begin. No matter which you choose, Dorney Park is definitely a lot of fun for Halloween! PS: Tix are more expensive at the gate, so if you plan to go..buy them online! Boo Blast and Haunt run until Halloween!
