This past week all Intermountain employees and their families could get in to Discovery Gateway for only $5.00 a person. We had never been down there so we decided to take the boys down on Saturday. It was SO MUCH FUN!! This is a child's heaven, it is so much BETTER than our Tree House Museum we have here in Ogden. There are little stations where the kids can go wild. There was a construction site, a house, a market, a gas station, a rock climbing wall, a farm, a KSL news station, a plumber station, a science section, and tons more.
My favorite by far was the Intermountain spot. There is a retired Life Flight helicopter on the roof of the building. You could go sit in the helicopter and it would sound just like it was taking off, it was so loud. It would give you three different scenarios for patients that are in need of Life Flight. Once you got out of the helicopter there was a patient you could wheel into the ER, inside the building you could do an x-ray, CT scan, and then you could take them to OR and operate. They had patients on a table with I-pads in them and the boys operated on their arm and leg. It was so fun. I felt like a little kid playing with all the boys. You would think I wouldn't be so excited about it since I work in a hospital, but I was giggling and loving it up like a school girl.
This was a hurricane tunnel. They could go into this tunnel and feel how strong the winds are in a hurricane.
