Our philosophy starts with the simple belief that kids are capable of incredible things. Our job is to nurture that ability; our goal is to support kids' healthy development. Play is how kids learn--here, it is in both a STEM-rich environment and inviting outdoor experience.

Come explore the new Discovery Museum building and Discovery Woods! Join us during this special free evening especially for families with members on the autism spectrum. In our new, ADA-compliant building you can play, explore, and learn with new and renovated exhibits. Dinner, including a gluten free option, will be provided courtesy of Not Your Average Joe’s.
Pre-registration required at http://bit.ly/ASDEveningApril2018 as space is limited.
Please Note: Our new, unified museum building will be open this evening; the Children’s Discovery Museum is now permanently closed to visitors.
Discovery Woods closes at dusk. We will be creating a new Museum Story Guide to help introduce visitors to the new museum, but until it is ready, you may want to prepare for your visit by downloading the Story Guide to Discovery Woods at http://bit.ly/DWStory3 and by visiting the Exhibits section of our website. We are also happy to answer any questions about our new facility by phone.
