The
Ice Cream Factory
Bob
gets a rare behind-the-scenes tour of the Nestle Ice Cream Factory
in Laurel, MD and learns everything from what sort of ingredients
they use "a TON of rice EACH DAY to make Crunch Bars"
to how hard everyone works to keep the plant clean "That's
right, you get to see Bob in a hairnet and booties!" Unfortunately,
the plant does not offer tours to the public, but Bob's visit
is a comprehensive look at what it takes to make America's favorite
frozen treat.

The
National Museum of Dentistry
When
you think of teeth, you don't usually think of fun! But Bob's
visit to this totally cool and entirely underrated
Baltimore museum is a blast! Bob meets Curator Dr. John Hyson,
learns the proper way to brush, and runs wildly around the building
with a giant tooth... while Pop Quiz gets a gander at George Washington's
choppers, and Biff works on overcoming his fear of visiting the
dentist. A great place to take Vid Kids!

Exchange
City
Bob
drops by Exchange City in Owings Mills, MD to visit Emily Grant
and an enthusiastic group of 80 fifth graders learning all about
how to run a city. They elect a mayor, pass laws, and run shops...
they even get paychecks and balance check books... A terrific
Junior Achievement program designed to help elementary and middle
school kids understand economics and MORE!
|
The
Baltimore Zoo
Lion
and tigers and bears... Oh My! Bob went on a spellbinding safari
to The Baltimore Zoo to meet animals from around the world. This
is what Bob learned about some of our furry -- and slithery --
friends!

The
National Aquarium in Baltimore
Have
you ever misplaced your favorite sneakers or baseball cap? Well,
once Bob lost his mother's pet fish, Sid the Vid Fish. Can you
imagine that? Misplacing a fish?

Fort
Frederick
Bob
explored Fort Frederick near Hagerstown, Maryland, and learned
from Private Dave Miller that the fort was built in 1756 and used
during the French and Indian War.

The
Lady Maryland
Ahoy,
Vid Kids! One windy day, Bob took a fun-filled voyage around the
Chesapeake Bay aboard the Lady Maryland. He joined the crew and
many students aboard this historic PUNGY SCHOONER.

The
B & O Railroad Museum
Bob
loves trains! The shining, spinning wheels... the sound of the
whistle... the loud chug of the engine! When he visited the B&O
Railroad Museum in Baltimore, MD, Bob learned how important trains
were in our country's westward expansion (the growth of America's
frontier towns).
