Educational Day Trip: Ann Arbor

There is enough to learn in Ann Arbor to make several day trips. My two favorites: (find more at this visitor's guide.)

• Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum - This museum is similar to COSI in Toledo, but with enough different exhibits to make it worth its own visit. Admission is free with a COSI membership, too.
• The Scrap Box - This store sells discarded materials that can be used for art and craft projects. There are samples all over the store to inspire you. This is a great source for rolls of paper, collage materials, and more. They keep limited hours, so check the site before you go.
