Reviews

My kids (girls age 6 and 2 years old) LOVED it! They had so much fun! We stayed there for 4 hours. My kids didn't want to leave! We visited the museum 3 days ago and my 2 year old can't stop talking about how much fun she had and askes daily if we can go back. All of the interactive displays/activities are awesome for young kids. We all had such a good time that I plan on purchasing an annual family pass soon. I plan on packing a lunch the next time we go and taking advantage of the lunch room. Parking is free and the restrooms were nice and clean!

Our kids love this place. We have had a family pass for the past 2 years and definitely get our money's worth. A lot of times we pop in for an hour or so before we have to go somewhere else. Plus, the pass is good at a lot of other museums in the country. We have used it in Madison, Wisconsin at their children's museum and in Chicago at a couple of museums. If you have kids, bring them to the Discovery Center!

This is a great place to take a young child so they play all day and your house stays clean.  The theatre shows are great for older kids as well as the sports and electricity exhibits.  Younger kids could go daily but older kids need more space between visits.

My son had a good time while at the museum. He had a boys scout night at the place. The whole idea of sleeping there was cool.

Great interactive exhibits across a range of interests and sciences. Helpful staff, friendly atmosphere, and a great outdoor play area make this the perfect place to visit if you've got a technical or scientific minded child. 5/5 would definitely go again.
