 | | S. Brinn, Co-op Member | | Love, love, love this museum! It is almost entirely interactive which my busy son loves. They have a dedicated section for younger children which was especially nice. |
|
| | Bobbie W., Co-op Member | | We have been to the Discovery Place several times in the last few years and it is always an exciting destination. There is always something new going on. They have a wonderful IMAX dome theatre that is always playing fun and educational movies. The prices for admission and the movie are reasonable. We also enjoy the aquarium a lot. They have great rotating displays and some really educational permanant displays as well. We plan on purchasing a membership soon so that we can make this a regular part of our homeschooling experience. |

 | | Vicky, Co-op Member | | We love coming to Discovery Place at least once a year. It has a room just for our younger pre-k children, but lots of activities for our first grader. They always have new exhibits coming. The hands-on exhibits really help our son understand more about science, and he can connect what he reads in a book to what he sees at Discovery Place. |

| | B. Hargett, Co-op Member | | I wish we lived close to a place like this. It is wonderful. You can spend weeks here and never get bored. You see, hear, touch, and do science here. A child (or adult) can explore their own particular bent to his/her heart's content. My memories are outdated as it has been several years since we visited, but I loved the drawers of specimens of butterflies and insects, the experiments that you were encouraged to try, the beauty of the building, and the friendly staff. The creators of Discovery Place are inventive, encouraging, and understand children. A definite "yes" for this place. |

| | Danielle C, Co-op Member | | Love that they have a section for younger children. My children loved the water play and the wind tunnel. The rest of the museum is geared toward much older children, but highly interactive. Their renovations have been superb! |
