Derek PeplauSeptember 29, 2013Don't miss the Harmonograph in the Science Museum in the back. Cool art in action and your child gets to bring their masterpiece home.
JosetteApril 26, 2015A great place for toddlers to learn and play for hours indoors and burn off tons of energy!- mel ngoNovember 16, 2015from the outside, you would not expect such a big surprise of fun inside!! so much to do, and hands on activities!
Eric OJuly 19Lots of inside and outside exhibits to explore. The 0-3 year area allows older siblings to tag along!

Cosmo CatalanoSeptember 9, 2021don't forget about outside stuff like the giant balance scale and tree house.- xǝןɐ uuɐɯɥʇnɹAugust 23, 2011A great place for kids and families. Lots of very cool, interactive exhibits for hands-on exploration and learning.
Adam ZecJanuary 6, 2010Great museum to take people to, but that's if you have a short amount of time and children under the age of fifteen. Got a great workshop though! I'll tip it!
Heather Hiorns ArchambaultAugust 16, 2011Very busy today. Employee says usually a waiting list to get in children's museum. Our wait is 45 minutes-really???????
Natalie HallJuly 23, 2010Awesomest museum ever! There are usually fun events here, check out the website, discoverymuseums.org
Go at least an hour after opening. Most of the crowd will have thinned out by 11am.
