>Hello,
>    
>     Our organization is looking to build a new playground with a science
>theme.  As most of our visitors have children under 12, this would
>include traditional elements like slides that would appeal to little
>ones.  Then there might be whisper dishes, speaking tubes, activities
>with simple machines, etc. 
>
>     I'm interested in hearing from people who already have these types
>of playgrounds.  I'd like to know how they're used, staffed, maintained,
>and what went into the building process.  I'd also be interested in
>hearing from people who build these types of exhibits (offline, since we
>can't sell through this list).  Thanks in advance to anyone willing to
>share.
