Photograph article dated February 28, 1963 partially reads, "Taking your children to a toy exhibit at the California Museum of Science and Industry is a strain. On your heart. As soon as you see their eyes light up at the exhibit entrance, you know you're in for trouble... On a weekend, more than 6,100 persons will visit the museum, of which the current exhibit is divided into separate classifications. In one section of the exhibit, there are slides and climbing apparatus. Another section is devoted to the purely educational toys. While a third section is composed of quality dolls and animals. The museum, 700 State Dr., Exposition Park, is open every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. There's no charge. The toy exhibit closes Sunday." Photograph caption reads, "Crawling through giant locomotive. The steel apparatus attracts children like a magnet."; See images #00126602 through #00126604 for all photos in this series.
