When we are in town we love to stop here. Our kid loves the water table and the second floor. It is really great for smaller kids!

Are there there rules against dropping off a 13 year old to play and see the place again

Atomic | Oct 30, 2021
Tom Greer | Oct 30, 2021

I'm not sure about that, but I don't know how much fun a 13 yr old would have at this location. It seems to be aimed more towards a younger crowd. I'm guessing they want all children to be supervised, but you can give them a quick call to find out. I didn't see any other 13yr olds while I was there.

Are there activities for children 10+? Is there a educator discount for Home schoolers?

Stephanie Baldridge | Oct 31, 2019
Britt Flea | Oct 31, 2019

We had certain days that homeschool groups could go at a discounted rate through the cooperative. There is an outdoor nature area that is fun for older kids. I would say target ages for this location are 4 to 10. Older children could still enjoy too.

Kay Crawford | Oct 31, 2019
Annie Paraison | Oct 31, 2019

Outside food is allowed if you eat in the designated area. We took our pre-k students there on a field trip and brought sack lunches for everyone

Senora D Roberts | Oct 31, 2019

Aubrea Settlemyre | Oct 31, 2019

It's $8 for ages 2 and up. If you have the city saver there is usually a BOGO Deal or you can get the membership if you plan to go regularly

How much is a membership for a child

Chuck Reynolds | Oct 31, 2019
Reace T | Oct 31, 2019

There are parent plus child, family, and etc. type memberships. There is not solely a child membership option.

do you have any party deals or anything ? my daughter turns 1 & we’re trying to decide on where to host her bday!

Cheyenne Capps - Mock | Oct 31, 2018
Robert Knight | Oct 31, 2018

Yes they do but for a 1 year old I'm not sure how much your daughter will get out of it. You need to check with them on that. But if most the kids are a little older it would be great.

There is reciprocal membership I believe. We visited Adventure Science Center during the Christmas break and we were able to get general admission for free with our Discovery Center membership.

Is it safe to bring a 2 year old there with the Flu so bad? Of course I sanitize his hands many times.

Melissa Hardison | Oct 31, 2018
Reace T | Oct 31, 2018

I have taken my twin 7 year olds to Discovery Center since the flu outbreak and they have not gotten this year's flu vaccine nor have they developed the flu. That's my personal situation. As others have said, use your best judgement.
