The host had a scavenger hunt for the kids to fill out as we made our way through the exhibits. It makes the kids have to read and take in all the information.
We learned quite a bit of information about the nuclear power plant and how nuclear energy works. It was interesting and very well done.
After we toured the exhibits, we watched a film about the formation of the Lake Norman area and Duke Energy's role in creating the lakes along the Catawba river. We all enjoyed this film and explained to the kids that all this took place around the time we (mothers) were little kids. They found that fascinating.
Once we finished with the inside of the Explorium, we walked the nature trail around the pennisula of the lake. This is a great little trail with some signage to tell about parts of the area.
Overall, we had a nice trip and learned more about how our areas obtain their power.
