Want to explore a world built with the youngest learners in mind? The Discovery focuses on encouraging education through fun exhibits, exclusive programming, and more. Read on for five ways to enjoy the space.
Small Wonder Wednesday
For the museum’s youngest learners, The Discovery opens an hour early—9 a.m.—every Wednesday to allow families with children ages 5 and under to have the entire museum to themselves. Small Wonder Wednesday includes special hands-on programs and story time.
Camp Discovery
When school is out, Camp Discovery is in! Camp Discovery offers week-long, themed camps for students in kindergarten through 7th grade. Each camp is interactive and totally fun, and campers leave excited about science and ready to explore the world around them.
School Field Trips
A staple of The Discovery’s educational offerings in the school field trip program. In addition to museum exploration, a field trip includes a hands-on Discovery Lab activity aligned to curriculum standards.
Featured Exhibitions
Stop by for featured exhibitions available for a limited time. Through September 8, The Discovery will feature Mental Health: Mind Matters. Through hands-on, interactive, and immersive multimedia activities, visitors of every age can explore mental health and how it can be improved.
Little Discoveries
Although young learners will find exciting exhibitions throughout the museum, The Discovery has one space dedicated just to young learners. In Little Discoveries, visitors ages 5 and under can roll and creep, sit and stand, look and feel, pile and build, explore and discover.
