What do children usually do when they have two months of free time? What is the most meaningful way a young child can spend their summer vacation? As many children have finished the school year, planning a fruitful summer break can be a challenging task for parents.

Museums have grown more popular over the years and have become a second classroom where students can both learn and have fun simultaneously. Parents like to take their children to museums to learn about Chinese history and traditional culture. Meanwhile, some educational agencies are working with museums to organize summer camps, which appeal to teenagers.
