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.

** Please note that November 6 is Election Day in MA and schools are closed, so we expect the museum may be a bit busier this day than most Tuesday afternoons. **
Come explore the entire Museum campus at your own pace. We are open to the general public during these events, but group visits and birthday parties are not scheduled in order to avoid crowding and to support exhibit accessibility. Quiet spaces are available during this time as well. You can prepare for your visit by downloading the Story Guide to Discovery Woods at http://bit.ly/dwstory4 and by visiting the Exhibits section of our website.
Pre-registration required at http://bit.ly/ASDNovember2018 as space is limited.
