TFI cuts back on the blinking lights, reduces the volume, and opens early once a quarter for kids who would otherwise be too overwhelmed by the stimulation of the regular Franklin Institute displays.

Have fun and stay cool 🙂
It’s finally summer and time to break out the hot weather treats! Want something healthier than ice-cream or sugar filled popsicles?
Try this for your kids. From toddlers to teens, they will love it:
Take any aging bananas, peel and put in plastic bags in your freezer for future use.
When a cool treat is necessary, put 1 frozen banana, a half cup milk (cow’s milk, soy milk, almond milk) and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla in your blender (this amount per serving) and blend until smooth. Voila! It tastes and feels like a milkshake made with ice-cream– but it isn’t!
For interesting color and flavor variations, add blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, peeled peach slices or really ANY summer fruit.
Enjoy!
