Discovery Zone Opening

We were proud to welcome our new permanent exhibit:

Beverly and Jon Thompson
Discovery Zone

Explore, observe, study, pretend and play! This new permanent exhibit designed for children 8 and under will have opportunities for the whole family to discover and learn together. It includes an area for infants and toddlers, as well as a vast array of touchable objects. See a fully articulated human skeleton and replica T. rex skull, view items under microscopes and enter a forest habitat.

The exhibit is FREE
