Was there 2 hours and could have stayed longer, but we ran out of time. We will be back! The 3 year old loved the vacuum tubes and water tables. The 1 year old loved the train. There’s an entire area outside that we never...More

Appeals to wide range of ages

What a gem! We took my 3 yr old son and niece for the afternoon. We started with a meltdown in the lobby but were able to quickly distract the kids with the water room and from then on they were in hog heaven. Kids...More

Simply a great place for families to enjoy

Took 9 year old grandson who was visiting. He interacted with a lot of exhibits and rated it a good visit. Lots of adults playing taking up space where kids could have been playing. Still geared toward younger children. Likely best for children up through...More

Good museum combined with fun outdoor center!

Excellent place to take kids, especially with first Friday nights free in summer! A wide range of activities. They now also have a new outdoor space with treehouse and some more exhibits to explore inside. Fun for all!

The New Building is Fantastic!

This jewel of a discovery ‘museum’ was very good before, but limited by its space. With the opening in February and with the terrific adjacent treehouse and playground, it has moved up to top notch. The creativity of the huge variety of interactive exhibits offers...More

Days Open Not Great

I cannot comment on the Discovery Museum itself as we were unable to go. It is closed every Monday. This means it is closed for almost every school holiday, which is VERY disappointing. This is a prime time for enjoying time with your kid(s). I'll...More

Awesome activities for younger kids

Loved the Discovery Museum with my three-year-old daughter. There were so many different activities to explore and she loved each one! From creating a huge bubble to making shapes, to Bessie's diner and the Water Gallery, everything was really neat for her. We could have...More
