Our Trip to the Ventura County Museum of Agriculture

I am the type of person that enjoys learning while having an experience. Especially if that experience is free and has anything to do with plants or a pretty view. When I called to get the details about the museum and bringing a child, I felt as if I was being sold on an experience for a child. Admission is free for now and donating a couple dollars helps keep it free.

The women at the counter was very friendly, she let us kinda wonder in. The shop area is located as soon as you enter. My first stop was to look at the different local goods, we then continued to the open museum room. It may have been the string lights that gave it that wedding vibe, but I couldn’t stop thinking how beautiful an event would be here.

Anyways, we spent about an hour walking around inside. We let Tyson play at his pace and didn’t rush him. We engaged and enjoyed playing with new toys in a new interesting environment. We have been reading books about bees so seeing them in real life connected the at home learning.

I packed apples, Trader Joes’s Sour Cream Spinach dip, couple sourdough rolls, dried berries mix, baby carrots, mango and string cheese. We snacked and let Tyson wonder around the garden area before us. The flowers were starting to bloom. A little lady bug caught Tyson’s eye and we had a moment. It was a nice afternoon taking it slow and enjoying the environment around us.
