Professor Penny Pickles Children's Museum

My mom has wanted to take the boys to Professor Pennypickle's Workshop Children's Museum in Temecula for a while now, and we finally made it there.
It is set up like a house with different rooms and is the house of a crazy inventor names Professor Pennypickle. It is a science based museum, good for young children, but elementary school aged children can get more out of the science activities.
They have sessions so you can come in for 2 hours, so it doesn't get too busy. It wasn't too busy at all the Saturday we were there. The boys had a great time, and keep asking to go back. We will definitely go back sometime. This is great if you are every in Temecula or want to make a day trip out of it. It is in the historic old town area so there are other shops and touristy old things around and restaurants. There is also a farmers market close by on Saturdays. If going on a Saturday I recommend going to the 10:00-12:00 session as parking does fill up downtown by noon.
my photos aren't that great
