Tried to go today, didn’t realize it was closed, a man approached us in the parking lot and cussed my son out in front of my granddaughter , was a horrible experience, so sad that she had to experience this, and the man was working for the discovery zone and he also threatened to slash all four tires on our car

Just went and experienced the Discovery center for the T-Rex theme with my kids. Haven't been here for years. They did have a lot of science experiments and good information to learn, and the dinosaurs were amazing to see. Lots of educational purpose here but as far as fun we could have used more interaction from staff or maybe some more upbeat attractions. For a museum feel it was good though. The play place for the kids under five look like it had a lot of play potential. We will come back for sure, as it is a Boise staple. Excited to see the other themes as well over time. My kids are looking forward to the Lego experience to come back.

Great fun; exhibits always changing; we got the annual pass and we are excited to use it again. Was pro-rated to be a year from purchase; which is awesome. My two kiddos and family always have a fun hour or two here and we learn something too, staff is very kind.

Is the current exhibit human anatomy, appropriate for a 6 year old?

Wendi Roesler | Sep 26, 2019
Danielle Ellstrom | Sep 26, 2019

Depends on your 6 year old. I can see how it could be somewhat morbid to some however it is absolutely fascinating as well. There are raw genital exposed and a great learning experience as well.
