My kids absolutely love this place. The year pass is totally worth it. We try and go at least once a month. The only reason I didn't give five stars is that some of the exhibits could use some TLC, they are getting a bit run down. It doesn't bother the kids though, so whatever. It's nice that they get news exhibits and activities from time to time. My oldest loved Sue the T- Rex and the dinosaur room. Go during the week if you can, it's much less crowded that way.

A great place to bring your little ones. There are tons of activities to choose from and for them to learn about. The staff was very helpful and friendly and interacted with the kids. The water, cloud area was the biggest hit with my lil guy he loves that part the most. I would recommend to anyone with little ones to take their kids here.

This museum is fantastic! Lots of fun activities for the kids and some for the adults too! For example, spark lab has a 3D printer and a few robots( Cozmo, Wonder). The staff are friendly and fun. Good parking lot outside and you can spot it from traffic.

My family loves The Discovery, especially my 3yr old. The membership fee is a little high but there's nothing else like this around here so it's definitely worth it. Oh, and the little toy 'store' is really neat. Lots of fun, educational toys for a decent price (especially with your 15% off membership perk).

I have 5 children and their ages are 15 yearS old, 7 yearS old, two 6 years old and 2 years old. Today I also has additional children 16 years old, 6 years old and 2 years old. I drove to the Discovery Museum with eight children today and when I arrived they told me that for an hour on Wednesdays it's 5 years old and under only. The Discovery Museum already has a whole room that is for ages 5 and under. This seems absolutely ridiculous to me. When I arrived they almost didn't let my children use the restroom. This has been a family friendly place, but not anymore. I do NOT recommend this place. Well, since I have a range of ages in my crew I cancelled my membership, got a FULL refund and I will not be returning until the Discovery Museum is all age friendly ALL THE TIME.
