Somewhere back between ages 13 and whatever fascinating age I am now, I misplaced my balance. Shortly after middle school, I found roller skating beyond my grasp, and now occasionally walking on a slope seems challenging…but then that could be a margarita at work. The Fort Worth Museum of Science and History’s new exhibition Balancing Act looks at the one thing we all use, but could also all improve–unless you’re a tightrope walker or something. Balancing Act is perfect for kiddos, what with a “Turvey Tunnel” akin to a fun house, balance boards, toys, challenges and even a balance guide buddy named Level. Sure, it’s educational, but it’s also entertaining–aside from the experiments, let’s be honest, you know someone’s going to fall down, and that’s always funny. You know, unless you’re older than 30 and aren’t in a foamy balance exhibition. Take it from me. Clumsy is my middle name. Balancing Act runs through May 9, 2010. Admission to the exhibition is included with regular museum admission ($14 adults, $10 children and seniors). The FWMSH is located at 1600 Gendy St. and is open daily (save December 24 and 25). Call 817-255-9300 or visit fortworthmuseum.org.
