I think my children are too young yet and if I take them they’ll get bored and cause trouble for other visitors as well. So no.

NO, they are to dam mean. The zoo would be more appropriateCool

No, but when I was a teenager I used to go to the local drive-in, and to impress my friends there....I used to push-ups in the back seat, so they would think I was putting the moves on my imaginary girlfriend.

No, I find it boring. You can look on the computer and see it. Also none around here big enough to have anything nice.  If I ever got to go to Europe I would drop in on a couple.

Good question!  We've been to a few museums, mostly for school field trips and once during a family vacation.  Since my kids are still young they seem to prefer the hands-on type Children's Museums where they can physically enjoy the art world. 

I don't have a child yet and I am imagining that is I would be a child, I would not really want to get a tour around.

Though when I was older, I appreciated them better.

Of course. 

I took my children when they were small, and now I take my grandchildren to art galleries and museums.  I grew up going to the Kansas City Museum of Natural History, the Nelson-
Atkins Art Gallery, and the Kansas City Symphony, as well as many plays and concerts.  Children never learn how to behave in public if they are never taken out in public, and never learn to appreciate beauty in the world if they never see or hear any.
