Bettendorf — Enjoy an evening at the Family Museum for free! On Veteran's Day Wednesday, November 11, 2009 from 5:00pm until 8:00pm admission is free for everyone at the Family Museum located at 2900 Learning Campus Drive in Bettendorf, Iowa.

Visitors can enjoy the popular exhibit Blue Man Group: Making Waves and learn about the science of sound. Visitors can explore agriculture and weather in Amazing Acres by making a cloud, touching a tornado, driving a John Deere combine, and shopping in the Amazing Acres Market. Little ones can play safely in The PlayHouse with a virtual pond, Alphabet Kitchen, color laundry, number yard, and more. Busy Bodies has a large heart that visitors can walk through and listen to a heartbeat. And the rhythm of the heart may inspire some visitors to create their own rhythms in Rhythm Alley with a pentaphone and clavinova. There is so much to do at the Family Museum!
