My wife and I went for the Cat exhibit. It was great! We were the second family in the Museum and the first in the Cat exhibit. We walked in right at opening at 930 AM. When it starts to get crowded many people/kids crowd the interactive components of most of the exhibits so we always try to go when it opens.

The staff gave fun and interesting fac...
