For kids of every age, from one to ninety-two. Pony rides, toy sailboats, scout meetings, long garden paths to tire and enthrall. And hundreds of metal green chairs, raked in just the perfect angle for sitting all afternoon.

An extraordinary museum showcasing the history of everything mechanical. Right now “Et l’Homme… créa le robot” is the temporary exhibit going on until March 2013. Star Wars lifesize figures, robots performing amazing feats, the Mars Rover taking off and landing. Colorful and electrifying. It will blow your socks off. Be sure to see the permanent exhibits too with early full size flying machines, cars, locomotives, diesel engines, looms, original mockup of the Statue of Liberty, all artfully exhibited.
