Discovery Space offers a variety of programs, science adventures, and makerspace projects for kids of all ages.
Some of our activities can get a little messy, involving materials like paint, water, and other materials. We recommend dressing your child in clothes that can handle a bit of creative chaos, and we have plenty of aprons to share. Look for the ‘Messy’ sticker on our social posts each week to know when to expect some extra fun!

Weekly Programs
Our Weekly Programs offer fun, hands-on learning for young kids and their families. These programs are a great way for children to start exploring STEM topics while parents and caregivers can connect with each other.
We know early learning experiences are important, and we work hard to make them accessible for all families through our nonprofit mission. Most weekly programs are free with membership or general admission.
In addition to our weekly offerings, we offer unique learning experiences through one-time programs and special events. These programs are designed to dive deeper into specific topics and often include partnerships with local STEM experts, organizations, and schools.
