★★★★Katie FanslerVery fun! went on a field trip with my 3yonnephews. they enjoyed the "Truckee river" water feature and the "cloud" climbing structure. their favorite part was the room with the auto repair shop. they were learning how to change tires and put oil in a car. it was so cute! a few things were broken and didn't work too well, but otherwise a very cool space and fun for the whole family.
★★★★★Living LifeThis place is legit for kids that want to see and learn cool stuff. A great place for families to go together. We've been there a few times. The last time was with Tiny Toes which is a great organization that The Discovery hosted. It was great
★★★★★Troy TateWe had a great time with our kids visiting this museum. Its very interactive and had lots of activities for our children to engage in. We played with Legos, dinosaurs and even watched a live experiment. We would definitely recommend taking a family trip here.
★★★★★Keeping it realAwesome place to let your little one explore and be a child. I highly recommend the annual membership. $27 for myself and a two year old vs $85 (I think) for the annual. With Summer coming up it was a no brainer. They had an awesome LEGO exhibit when we went and we spent four hours exploring and have fun.
★★★★★KarenThe LEGO sculptures and brickmaster exhibit is phenomenal. Our grandkids love the water cycle climbing structure had enjoyed all the hands on activities.
