Children's Museum of Discovery

“A perfectly sized museum and center for kids to learn and have hands-on fun activities. This museum is divided into two areas: indoor and outdoor. The indoor area has sections and setups to do pretend grocery shopping, understand some physics principles around fluid dynamics and gravity, learn about money (financial center), pretend kitchen area, pretend laundry area, learn about common bugs and insects, etc. There is also an enclosed and safe play area for toddlers (2 and younger). The outdoor area also has a variety of activity sections. They have sand boxes to let kids do some fossil finding, flowing water to do some gold mining / search, plant sections explaining various veggies, compost center to play around with worms, gardening section, obstacle course , pollination center and an enclosure with a pet turtle. They also run sessions where kids can make their own fossils. Overall a great place to spend time with little kids and educating them on some of the common activities and things around us. To top it all off, the staff is super nice and the place has ample free parking. Definitely a place to visit.”

“A really fun place for children. Perfect for ages 2 to 8, or maybe even a little older depending upon their attitude. Not very large, but plenty of activities to explore and learn from. Most very young children are too young to grasp the science concepts at each station, but they will receive some didactic experience with the forces and grow in curiosity and understanding. It has most stations that other regional discovery centers have, it’s just a much smaller facility - which is perfect for small children with short legs:-). Reading nook Aquarium Outdoor xylophone Outdoor stage Wind tunnel Large Lite brite Nature exhibits Magnet and Metal Ball drop Plenty of building stations Large low chalk board Etc… All my younger kids loved it. Not for teens! Perfect for young children.”

“We’ve been coming here since we moved in ‘21. My daughter has grown up here. They used to have this stuffy, Gerald (condor). You find it and get some cool stickers. He’s no longer there (to my knowledge), but something that small got my daughter’s attention to where she loves that animal. She loves coming here, and now we take our son there for the past year. They enjoy all the activities, the tortoise, Sebastian, and all the activities. Pillar of the community.”

“The Children's Museum is a fantastic place for kids to play safely and explore a wide variety of activities. My children especially loved the scheduled programs that take place throughout the day. It’s a well-organized and engaging environment for young ones. Highly recommended for families!”
