(NAPSI)-For children, the world is an invitation to learn, and the opportunities for discovery are endless. And by arranging regular family outings, parents get to spend time with their kids while seeing things through the youngsters' eyes.
Here are some examples of day trips you can take together:
• Natural wonders. Most people live within driving distance of nature's glory-a waterfall, rock formations, mountains, etc. By visiting them with children, you can discuss how such formations occurred while soaking in their beauty. Don't forget a picnic.
• Indoor activities. Just because the weather isn't cooperative doesn't mean the day has to be a washout. From bowling to indoor batting cages and miniature golf, there are plenty of fun things to do-filled with friendly competition-inside.
• Day at the museum. Taking your children to a museum can be a terrific way for everyone to have an experience to remember. Museums are an interactive and educational way for youngsters to learn about history. In "Night At The Museum," Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) used his unusual experiences at New York City's Museum of Natural History to bond with and inspire his son. And you can do the same, whether your kids are into space, dinosaurs, the Old West or just about anything else.
Remember, today's museums are not the traditional buildings with musty halls filled with rocks and bones; they are castles, historic homes, old churches, hall-of-fame facilities, galleries, gardens and much more.
And after you've spent some time at the museum, where history comes to life, why not cap off the day with a family-friendly flick about what happens when history really comes to life?
"Night At The Museum," now available on DVD and Blu-ray Disc from Fox Home Entertainment, tells the tale of Larry Daley, an unlucky, yet hopeful dreamer who takes a job as a graveyard-shift security guard at the Museum of Natural History. When it closes at night, Larry soon learns that things are not what they seem when a Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton wants to play fetch, an Easter Island monolith talks to him and Attila the Hun attacks.
The DVD features a wild collection of extras, including deleted and extended scenes, an alternate opening, commentary from the stars and director, a hilarious gag reel, behind the scenes featurettes, a DVD-ROM Explorer Game and more. To learn more, visit www.foxhome.com.
