My three year old granddaughter was in heaven here. Just be aware it is not adjacent to Discovery Place. It is in a separate area, less expensive and free parking. Close enough that you can do both and satisfy everybody. Don't miss out on the ice cream cafe across the street. How perfect when it's tough to get the kids... More

Loved this and so did our little one. We spent close to 4 hours there and then went to a cute little lunch place down the street (within walking distance). More

We took our 2 grand kids here on a rainy Sunday. We were very impressed by the variety of things for a variety of ages. If you are taking a toddler and an older child, best to to have 2 adults.

DPK is the perfect place to take the kids any day! There are so many different areas of learning and play for them. They have every type of "I Can" activity that you could think of. And there are plenty of little benches for the parents to sit down and relax while the kids run around and pretend to be... More

We have been members of Discovery Place Kids for a year. Our first visit was wonderful! Impossible to have the children stop playing! But as we went back, I noticed that some of the places were suffering from heavy use and were not replaced. For instance, the shop is almost empty now and there are not so many books in... More
