MUSEUM: STAR WARS EXHIBIT

LOCATION: Powerhouse Museum, Sydney

DATE: Saturday 28 March, 2009

WITH: Amanda, Karen, Malcolm, Lachlan, Charlotte

We had such a fun family day this warm, sunny Saturday back in March. We met at the Powerhouse, Amanda is a Star Wars fan and subsequently Lachlan also is a fan. The exhibition was pretty good, for all ages. Lots of geeky techo stuff and lots of hands on good for adults to play with and enjoy and good for inquisitive little hands to check out. There was heaps of actual costumes and props and ships and so forth. Lochie got to check out Luke Skywalkers pod and have a go on a simulated vehicle of a similar nature. Charlotte was rather fascinated by the simulator and rightly gave another kid a mouthful of cranky when they got in her way! We saw Darth Vader, Chewie and Yoda amongst others. There was a small stage show with robots and R2-D2 which was great, but a little long for the littlies. Then there was the shop!! Not sure what excited us more the exhibit or the toys to take home. Day continued with lunch at Darling Harbour in the park, then a trip to the Maritime Museum. Mal and Lochie enjoyed a tour of the ships in the harbour, us girls chose to sit in the sun and chill. The museum itself was also very entertaining for all of us.
