Discovery Museum is a hands-on museum for families that blends science, nature, and play. The museum combines open-ended STEAM exhibits—water, air, sound, light & color, making & tinkering, simple machines, math—with immersive early learning experiences including a diner, train room, and ship room, along with an early learning space for 0-3 year olds. And, there’s a giant treehouse and outdoor nature playscape! The entire campus is ADA-compliant and designed according to Universal Design principles to be accessible. Come play and learn together!

Every Friday night of October through June is free! Plus, pay just $13 admission on weekday afternoons after 1:00pm (except for holidays and vacation weeks), now through June 13! Check out their Ways to Save page to see if you are eligible for even better discounts.
