A Science Playground for Children and Families
Please note: The Science Playground opens for the season on May 1st, 2024.
Weather permitting, the playground is open on days the Discovery Center is open to the public from 11a.m. until 3:30p.m.
Use of the Science Playground is included with general admission tickets. Guests must enter and exit the playground through the building.
A member of the Discovery Center Education staff is present with an educational activity or demo, but also to monitor safety on the playground. A parent or guardian must also be present with children on the playground.
As phase II of the playground occurs throughout the season, the availability of the playground is subject to change. Closures or delays will be posted on this page and on our social media accounts.
Thank you so much to everyone who made the first season of the Science Playground so memorable!
