Discovery Children's Museum
A combination museum and playground, this museum lets children engage in creative play while exposing them to science concepts. Kids especially love the 70-foot-tall Summit tower with 12 levels of interactive exhibits. The one drawback of the museum is lack of food; it's in a remote part of Downtown with no nearby eateries and only has a snack area with vending machines so plan accordingly.
Winter: Tue–Fri 9AM–4PM, Sat 10AM–5PM, Sun noon–5PM; Summer: Mon–Sat 10AM – 5PM, Sun noon–5PM$14.50
