About Children's Discovery Museum

The Children's Discovery Museum is a vibrant and engaging space that inspires the love of learning through the power of play. With its hands-on exhibits, classes, and programs, the museum actively engages visitors in experiences that stimulate imagination, curiosity, and wonder. The museum offers a range of admission options, including free entry for members and children under 2, while adults and children pay $10 for general admission. This allows access to all floors of the museum, participation in free floor programs, and re-entrance throughout the day. Visitors are greeted with a clean, thoughtfully designed space that hums with possibility. Exhibits invite joyful experimentation, where hands pull levers, feet race up structures, and imaginations crackle with excitement. The museum's staff understand that every child is an explorer standing at the edge of discovery, and they work tirelessly to create an environment that fosters learning and growth. While some exhibits may not have changed in 20 years, the museum's commitment to open-ended learning and hands-on play remains strong. Visitors can explore a variety of engaging exhibits, from the Ball Machine to the Illumination Station, and enjoy the museum's lively atmosphere, where laughter ricochets through multi-story play zones. Whether you're a local or visiting, the Children's Discovery Museum promises a memorable and enriching experience for children and families alike, where the world is not yet calcified into rules and fatigue, but instead hums with possibility.
