Discovery Museum
At Discovery Museum, our philosophy is that kids learn through play. We offer play in both a STEM-rich environment and a natural and inviting outdoor space. If you offer kids open-ended explorations, they will follow their natural instincts to observe, predict, and experiment—in other words, to be scientists.
Our museum exhibits offer hands-on, open-ended explorations themed around water, air, light and color, making and tinkering, simple machines, sound, and math. An immersive early-learning space features a diner, ship room, train room, and other themes for the younger set and a 0–3 space for babies and their caregivers. Our Discovery Woods nature playscape includes a giant, wheels-accessible treehouse, nature playscape with a climbing net, nest swing, boulder and slide hill, garden area, and trails accessing 183 acres of conservation land. The Museum also offers staff-led outdoor STEM, art, and nature-based programming throughout the year.
The entire campus and exhibits are accessible, and we offer more than 25 free events each year for families with a member with a disability.
