| - The Discovery Place is an interactive museum that features a wide range of exhibits that allow children, teens, and adults to compete a significant amount of divergent hands on tasks related to specific scientific discoveries. To say that the Discovery Place is hands on is an understatement. Literally, almost everything in this museum is interactive. As you walk through the museum you will be amazed with the number of activities that you and or younger children could complete. The amount of things to do is bordering on sensory overload. The museum is constructed in a manner that encourages the visitors to engage themselves in the sciences and is broken down in logical and easy to navigate manner.
The Discovery Place features an IMAX theatre, a series of aquariums, a tropical oasis, and a wide array of additional sections. There is most likely something for everyone in this museum but parents of younger kids might need to stay with them in order to explain and do some of the more heavier reading of directions. For me, some of the highlights was the bed of nails, the tinfoil/duct tape construction projects, and the featured wildlife. However, I can honestly say that there wasn't much that I didn't find reasonably interesting.
Overall, as an out of town visitor I found this place to be a very interesting way to spend an afternoon. Everyone in my group really enjoyed themselves and we were totally glad that we took the time to check it out.
