LEARNING UNLEASHED
The Discovery Science Place is a dynamic children’s museum where young minds have the freedom to examine, play, and find wonder in the world around them.
Better together
It’s no secret that play and learning have become increasingly separated in our world today.
It doesn’t have to be that way. At the Discovery Science Place:
- Parents see that learning through play and exploration develops curiosity and social skills.
- Students make connections to what they are learning in the classroom with our hands-on activities and programs.
- Children interact with our exhibits and think more critically about the world around them.
- Families spend more time having fun together and making memories at birthday parties and events.
