Yeah, that's what I thought.
If I'm wrong, tell me your secret. When we've gone anywhere, we've had to switch off watching kids with another couple to see anything cultural. My kids really enjoy...well, childrens museums. Well, that and dinosaur bones--they did sort of enjoy the Field Museum in Chicago--but liked the Aquarium MUCH better.
The fact that museums are on this list at all (as well as some of the cities highlighted) tells me these people don't have kids.
Speaking of museums--has anyone ever been to the wildlife museum in St George? My kids loved that one.

I've taken my kids to every major museum in Seattle, including the SAM and the Asian art museum and (which are big museums), the UW natural history museum, the Chicago Institute of Art, the Met, the Field Museum, etc. We saw a special Pompeii exhibit at the Field Museum. My four year old is passionate about Pompoii, Vesuvius, etc. I can't think of a more important thing to do with kids. One thing I learned from my religious forebears is you start programming early. It's never too early to start. I took my kids to the Chicago Instutute of Art three times while my wife was in meetings over a couple of trips when one was a toddler and the other a baby.
