Come play with science in the Discovery Room; a great place for young scientists aged 3-7 to explore a range of interactive exhibits. We provide exhibits that allow children to experiment with the properties of magnets, or explore the ways in which water behaves at the water table, and children can even dress up at the medical area or native American area. Our book nooks are ideal places for sitting down on a comfy rug and opening a good book.

Explore science and learning with your children as they begin to understand the world around them. Families can experience the remarkable natural world together in a nurturing child-friendly environment. The Discovery Room helps children focus on the fundamentals of science and technology and provides a learning resource for parents, children and teachers. Program sessions are 45 minutes and begin on the hour. Come and explore the playful side of science!
