If our "real world" is screens, maybe. I really hate to think that this is becoming the case, but it is happening and this only hastens it.
The article was about real analogs or actual world objects. The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago is a fantastic example, as is the Field Museum there. Kids are full of screen time already. Is that all there is?
The Museum of Science and Industry and the Field Museum are both well-funded, so they better be held to a high standard :)
They also both host overnights - bring your sleeping bag and pajamas and spend the evening with tons of activities, sleeping among the exhibits, and a morning breakfast. Have done both with my kids :)
