Creative Discovery Museum Description
The castle-like exterior gets a child's imagination going even before she enters the Creative Discovery Museum. Inside, kids dart from one area to the next, their curiosity unbridled and contagious. The museum's roof has been turned into a fun factory; giant bubble machines, musical instruments and pulleys are cleverly used to illustrate how machines work. Back inside, toddlers love the river play area, piloting boats in the water, then climbing the two-story structure and sliding down again.
Kid Tips
Babies: Not a quiet spot to bring baby, but the little yellow house area is perfect for crawlers and walkers to explore.
Toddlers & Pre-K: They'll spend most of their time in the river and on the roof; some of the exhibits may be above their heads
School-Age Kids: Great for kids under 12, especially those who are mechanically inclined or like puzzles.
Pre-Teens & Teens: Skip it.
Planning Notes
- Dress for play. This is a serious run-around-and-get-sweaty kind of museum.
