Indoor fun for toddlers

Okay, it's Janna's turn to post a recommendation on the blog!  Most of you with young children have already been introduced to fun area activities such as the Buffalo Zoo, Science Museum, etc.  I'd like to point out a more obscure museum in the area - the Explore & More museum in East Aurora.  It is located in an unassuming office building/town hall in East Aurora, a quiet community in the Southtowns which is also the headquarters of Fisher Price.  The museum itself consists of one large room of hands-on activities best for kids ages 2-5 (in my opinion).  There is a plastic garden, farm stand and kitchen for those kids who like to play with food, a construction center for Bob the Builder fans, a rice box with sand toys for those who like to dig, etc.  It's not an all-day destination, but my kids can usually entertain themselves happily for an hour or two.  The reason I bring it to your attention is twofold:  First of all, it is indoors.  And those of you who have lived in Buffalo for a while know what a blessing that can be in March when your kids are antsy after a long winter, but it is still too muddy and cold to head outside!  Second, the Explore & More museum is free to all WIC members.  The WIC program provides food help to families with pregnant or nursing moms and all young children up to the age of five.  Many student families in our ward take advantage of this program, so I thought I'd point out one of the bonuses!   Here is the website for hours and directions (if I can figure out how to link...hmmm...)  Well, it's www.exploreandmore.org.  Good luck!

UPDATE: Here are the directions from the Buffalo Ward building (Click on the view larger map link to see the real directions if it shows you something dumb like North America):
