Thinkery – Austin, Texas

New parents love joining the Thinkery for educational and sensory experiences. "Baby Bloomers," a weekly workshop of story time, music and sensory fun, is suitable to start at any age. The Light Lab is also a great spot for wide-eyed gazers to watch shadows and colors grow long and short along the wall. Bonus: There are über comfortable nursing pillows located all around the museum.
