Had our breakfast and took a cab there, reach there around 10plus (the station opens at 10am). The moment we reach there the registration guys ask us to go straight to the open space area where they display all the real fire engines and rescue vehicles. SMALL FAN got scared by the loud sound created by the generators there and started to ask to go home...sigh....
Well, we persisted and the daddy has to carry him as we went around taking pictures with the large fire engines and watch the visitors and kids trying out spraying water using the fire hose and the spray gun (not sure if that's what it's called) and also standing on the ladder as it goes up and down.
After that we proceed to the exhibition area where they displayed the history of fire stations and fire engines and also some see some exhibition about fire safety procedures. SMALL FAN likes there displays better then the real thing and was enjoying himself pressing the buttons of the displays and looking at what happen as the button was pressed.
All in all, quite a nice trip for us but when I ask SMALL FAN if he likes to visit the station again, he says "no" :( guess he is still too young to appreciate it, maybe we can plan another visit when he is older.
same here! gaby was frightened by the sound of the generator from the 'spray gun'. So he rather go into the museum. He likes to just sit in that old old fire engine and play pretend.
ReplyDeleteYa, SMALL FAN prefers the museum too. Maybe they are still too young to want to try out the real thing. We wanted to get SMALL FAN to sit in the old fire engine but he refuse to, so ended up, BIG FAN went up instead.
