For kids who love robots...

RobotsHere's something else that might be fun if you're in town this weekend, again courtesy of Jennifer Choi:

Port Discovery Children’s Museum is launching Robots: The Interactive Exhibition, part of a national tour inspired by the animated film Robots.

Visitors can see how robotic arms and industrial robots function, take a ride on the Crosstown Express, which provides a journey into the world of robotic vehicles, and visit the "Movie Star Robots Hall of Fame," which has a montage of movie and television bots from different eras.

Adults and children can also build or color their own virtual robots in the Robots Explorers and Paint-A-Bot stations. (But will the robots then come home and do my dishes?)

The exhibit is open 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Tuesdays-Fridays, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturdays and noon-5 p.m. Sundays through Sept. 8. Admission is $11.75 and free for children younger than 2.
