THE THEME OF THE CHILDREN'S DISCOVERY CENTER IS YOU!!!

Using state-of-the-art technology, the Center provides a “window to the world” and the opportunity for children to explore and discover things about themselves and the world through play. The Discovery Center has five major galleries, each filled with hands-on, interactive exhibits.

HOUSE RULES

For your utmost safety and enjoyment, please observe the following:

Let's Stay and Play Together

Children and adults should stay together at all times. Children should never be left unattended or unsupervised.

Let's Be Safe

Parents and guardians are responsible for their children. Please encourage children to walk, use their indoor voices, and share with others. The center can get very busy at times so strollers need to be parked in the lobby before entering the exhibit galleries.

Let's Explore

We encourage active exploration and touching with gentle hands. When you are done playing with something please put it back and cleanup.

Let's Keep the Center Clean

To help us keep the center clean, please enjoy food, gum, and drinks outside. Please change diapers in the designated areas in the restrooms.

Let's Have Fun

To get the most out of your visit as a family, please refrain from using your cell phones in the galleries and limit use for photos or emergencies only. Playing with your child is a gift that they will remember forever!
