Kidzu Children’s Museum Opens on Franklin
By Ciji Dodds

If you’re looking for a place to hang out on Franklin Street, and you’re under 21...inches that is, the new children’s museum might be the place for you.

The Kidzu Children’s museum opened its doors on Tuesday. The museum gives parents and children a chance to explore the world using their senses and imaginations. Children slid into a giant make believe bowl of chicken soup, had fun with mirrors and a Kareoke machine. When asked what they liked about Kidzu, the museum’s toughest critics enthusiastically responded.

“Everything,” said one child.

“I like the ship and the slides,” said another.

Local businesses like Ben & Jerry’s sponsored the opening. The museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
