Interactive learning: No matter if you just want to watch a movie about jazz or do some creating of your own, the American Jazz Museum is for you. It is mostly hands on with a lot of do-hickeys and knobs to play around with, but that is the fun of it. I hate taking my kids because I know we will be there all day while they explore all of the neat genres of music. (OK...so I don't hate it. I love playing there as much as they do!). If you haven't been, you should definitely try it. It is a worthwhile experience.
