I was super excited to go. It is $10. But the museum is closed. But there are a lot of great animals in the gift shop to look at and pet! Nice outside paths. Worth going for a nice day outside. You could do everything in about 2 hours or less. They have a great succulent nursery! Lots or gorgeous plants!!!

This was a fun family adventure. The landscaping definitely adds a Jurassic Park vibe which was awesome! The nursery was a nice surprise with lots of different options for succulents to purchase. There's many photo ops with dinosaurs, a guided tour, a beautiful flower garden, a pond with turtles and a gift shop. They close at 3pm (not sure if that's covid hours) but that was the only issue we had because we got there later in the afternoon. Entrance is free. Parking is $10 which we were able to use as a credit towards our purchase at the nursery (you have to make a purchase of $40 or more to get the credit)

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

The Discovery Center is a non-profit, admission is free. But the paid tours and the gift shop is what keeps the doors open:-) I am also one of the volunteers the helps keep the place open. It is a great place for the kids bring a picnic lunch!

There's no fee to walk around most of the grounds and through the gift shop and to see the critters. Tours are about $10 and cover more of the grounds. There are classes for kids, about $20 but check the schedule first, some need to be signed up for ahead of time. Museum is suggested donation of $3 or $5. Parking is free. It's a great place to go to.

Depends on how awesome your kid is, and how good of a parent you are. Not a hands off easy drop off, but an amazing spot they might actually learn something if you know how to teach...
