What parents say
We had a great time running around! Definitely recommend for ages 3-7. We had a good 2 hours of activities and fun in all the different sections of the cube! My favorite was the dinosaur section. You can go on missions and scavenger hunts!
I've lived nearby for 25yrs and had never been, finally with our grandson we have and look forward to going again. So many exhibits for curious minds and we thoroughly enjoyed it. A few things weren't working but there's a lot to maintain.
We visited Discovery Cube in early December, and as a homeschooling family, this was one of the most engaging and well-rounded learning experiences we’ve had during our travels. If you’re looking for a place where kids can learn through hands-on exploration while still having a lot of fun, this is an excellent choice.
Discovery Cube is a very nice, well-designed museum focused on hands-on learning and discovery for kids of all ages. It’s engaging, interactive, and honestly enjoyable even for adults, not just children. The exhibits are playful but educational, and everything is set up to spark curiosity rather than just entertain.
