The original uses 'Visiting museums is especially available for children' which misuses 'available' with a gerund subject. 'Available' describes accessibility, not benefit. Also 'in turn' was missing the preposition 'in'. Changing to 'Visits to museums are especially valuable' corrects noun form and agreement and uses 'valuable' to express benefit. Suggestion: use noun phrases like 'visits to museums' and collocations such as 'especially valuable' and include 'in turn' before the clause.'},{
