Discovery Room
About
We have childhood discovery down to a science.
The Discovery Room has new features and experiences! Research shows that children grow socially, academically, and emotionally in play-based settings and the Discovery Room is a great place for you and your budding young scientist to immerse yourselves in playful exploration. Come and learn with us!
Ages: 6 months to 6 Years
There’s even more for young scientists.
Preschool Science Series is a program to immerse early learners in playful learning and exploration.
Science Storytime
We invite our youngest visitors, along with their friends and families, to join us at the Energy Stage for Science Story Time. Enjoy an interactive read-aloud of a science-themed picture book, followed by a short demonstration or discussion connected to the book’s main concepts.
