Magic House is the Greatest!

You’re frustrated that your child won’t stop playing video games, they have no drive to do well in school, since school subjects bore them and they never want to go be active and run around. Well a place to solve this predicament is actually out there it’s called… The Magic

House! The Magic House is a great place. It is full of fun, knowledgeable facts, activities, and much more. While strolling through the house kids have the opportunity to learn more about science and history. The Magic House helps inspire kids about learning. Through-out this essay I am going to highlight why the Magic House is the best for fun, play and learning.

The Magic house is a great place. With it being just as cool as the city museum but safer, we have a great reputation. At the Magic House we have a three story bean stalk for children to climb instead of taking the boring old stairs. With many cool hands on exhibits such as the bubble room and the water work area children have the chance to learn. Our birthdays at Magic House are also better than city museum since we have themed parties with party specialist helping the parents or guardians out. We have many themed parties and have also gotten awards for having the best birthday parties around for the money.

Also the workers are great at being hands on with the children. They try their best to be personal with the guest and get to know them to make sure they are having a great experience.

For example while you are visiting down in expericenter a worker will be standing near by to put a fresh piece of paper out for your child to paint on and talking with them to get their name to put it on the art work so you may find it at the end of the day. They even have Disney music playing in the background to create a warm and friendly atmosphere if your child wants to dance in there they are more than welcome to.

The Magic House is a great place for learning since many of the exhibits promote learning. For example we have a special area just for one-to-six year olds called little bit of magic. In this area we have sand for children to play with and use a few of their senses such as touch to feel the different texture, and sight to see that if the kids pick up enough sand the base of the container shows through showing a new color. Also all along this area we have questions hanging up if the parents would like to ask their children anything. For example in the water works area of little bit of magic we have questions hanging up asking why do the duckies go in one direction? What happens if you but the slits in the slots? Can you build a Dam? These questions are just posted on the wall, while we understand that the audience can be of different age groups and the child might not know what a dam is or a ducky but this produces the perfect learning opportunity for the parent or guardian to have a bonding connecting time with their child and teaching them what that is.

Some may say that we aren’t the best place for fun play and learning of all ages since in some areas there are age requirements. A group of people may even say that the magic house is discriminatory to certain age groups. While yes a few areas with age requirements and limits are located inside the house, many other areas of the house don’t have any age restrictions or requirements. Also a variety of age requirements are inside the house, out of the three places asking for ages two of them are for five and above while one is for one to six. With much diversity on age requirements we believe we are geared towards all to have fun and play.

In conclusion the Magic House is a great place to play. Not only did I show you the oppositions point of view I even proved it wrong and gave you more reasons why the magic house is great. The Magic House is the best place for fun, play, and learning of all ages. I hope you now go and take the opportunity on a rainy day to take a younger one whether sibling or child or friend and go to the magic house where, you are guaranteed a memorable experience.
