Powered by GoogleIts a nice simple place for your kids to play and discover. Like a mini children's museum. They also have a great military discount which was great for us visiting the area.
This was a very neat place we took our son over the winter, just to get out of the house. Our son is almost 2 and it was perfect, there was so much to see and do. It's all hands on and very interactive science things to learn from color, sound, weather, bees and magnets. No fee for parking and admission is reasonable we spent almost 2 hours there and it was great!
We have been to many children's museums and science centers, and this one strikes a nice balance of activities with learning. I'd say most things here are best for those maybe 7 and under, but that can vary. We really liked it. Our 2 and 5 year old girls spent 2.5 hours exploring.
Discovery place is a wonderful place to take kids! However, all ages can enjoy the activities. The activities are fun, interactive, and educational. There are many different types of centers, and you can move at your own leisure. There is availability to hold birthday parties there, and they have a little gift shop as well. Price of admission is very affordable, and you could stay as long or as little as you would like. Staff was very friendly and helpful! You can buy memberships or daily admission. Will definitely be going back again!
What a great place to bring the kids! This place was very impressive. There were tons of different things for the kids to play with, not to mention learn from. My favorite was the dinosaur bone dig where you dug up assorted bones and matched them up with the correct dinosaur. We attended a birthday party here. They performed an assortment of experiments with dry ice. The kids were memorized by it! The staff was wonderful as well. It's worth stopping by and checking it out!
