Two kiddos - 9 & 12. They both thought it was very fun! They have all hands on themed rooms for the kids. Every kid there seemed to be having a lot of fun. We found it on accident just walking around downtown. We're glad we went. It's a great couple of hours of learning! More

The museum is very clean & very nicely appointed with lots of activities for 12 & under. I wouldn't plan a whole day though. We stayed about 3-4 hours & did everything there was to do. More

During a visit to Little Rock we walked across the street from our hotel to check out The Museum of Discovery and the kids loved it. It is small compared to some of the other Children's Museums we've visited but that didn't prevent our boys from having a great time exploring and interacting with the many different exhibits. Since our... More

The renovations are complete, and my 6 year old and 2 year old had a blast! The area for the little ones hasn't changed much, still has a stage, lighthouse, and boat. The science activities for older kids were fantastic! There was also an entire room devoted to the human body, complete with an artery with red blood cells that... More

The museum was recently overhauled, and it was well worth the time. My older kids stayed occupied for just over 2 hours. There were lots of things we all enjoyed, but the laying on the bed of nails was the rarest treat of all! More

Last Friday (2/17/12) I took my seven year old son to the museum for the first time and we both had a great time. The museum has something for all ages. We both found everything so interesting and fun. My son has already told me that he wants to go back, I'm glad because I want to go back too.... More
