The museum is kid-friendly, hands on, and has a room for babies, one for toddlers, and plenty of activities for school age children.
Indoor space includes a water play area, light and sound rooms, ball runs, a pirate ship loft area, and other exhibits. A big air machine is a hit and a magnetic gear wall upstairs is fun to interact with. There is a work area where kids can create and craft projects with recycled materials and wooden machinery that can be put together with tools.
Outside a new playground and tree house structure have been erected, which abut the Discovery Woods. The museum has a great educational program for schools and groups, or activities for parents and children to join. Their website gives a calendar of upcoming events.

The museum does get crowded on school vacation weeks and during the winter months. Traditional naptimes are a good time to go, or with little ones, during the school week.
