AHA A Hands On Adventure A Childrens Museum, Lancaster

There's nothing more frustrating for children than "Don't Touch" signs, common at so many museums. AHA!, a children's museum in Lancaster, Ohio, has set out to do just the opposite. Filled with exhibits designed specifically for children not only to touch but to interact with, the museum believes that children learn best when they are active and involved.

Founded by a group of parents and grandparents, AHA! knows how to sneak in a good lesson amidst all the fun. With exhibits like Build-A-House, Bank, and Garden Zone, kids learn real-life skills in a bright and safe environment. Kids can explore burgeoning artistic impulses in exhibits like The Art Zone and Laser Harp, a giant harp that plays music with invisible strings. Each area of the museum is designed to encourage a sense of wonder by allowing kids to jump in and play.
