Thank you for taking the time to evaluate Discovery Space, our children's museum, on TripAdvisor. We're happy your whole family enjoyed their visit.
We belong to a club of science facilities and this is our local facility. It's ok. I wouldn't pay the price if I didn't get in with my yearly membership. Some decent displays about our local ecology, but mostly bland with no "wow" factor.
Thank you for posting your review about Discovery Space. We appreciate all comments. ***
We're pleased that you had a wonderful experience at Discovery Space. We loved your comment 'Even giving is made fun there.' We hope you will come back the next time you're in our area.
Thank you for your evaluation of Discovery Space. Each semester, the PSU Mechanical & Electrical engineering students provide us with new exhibits, created as a semester project, on limited budgets. We have an exhibit from OMSI, opening September 25, called Eat Well, Play Well. It is an exhibit that will help children discover nutrition and fitness by making healthy choices. We will have this exhibit through December 31. Please come back and check it out.
When we looked at the website, Discovery Space seemed like it would be a fantastic place to bring our three-year-old. We drove an hour to visit the museum and were surprised that it was only one room with very home made displays, many of which were broken or missing pieces. The very home made nature of the displays wasn't necessarily the problem; the missing pieces and disfuntional equipment made the entire place seem shoddy. When we did ask for help with the flood area, we had to ask a group of four employees before they directed us to another person for assistance. We were the ONLY family in there and there were five employees working (or not working). Luckily, the admisson only cost us $18 and also luckily, my three-year-old is entertained by almost anything. The website mentions animals and gardens; the animals are puppets and the gardens are raised beds bordering a parking lot in a 3 foot area. We will not be going back.
Discovery Space wants to thank you for posting your review about your day at the museum. All comments are appreciated.
Great little place to spend an hour or two with the kids. Kids Under 12 - this an ideal indoor activity place! Our kids 6 and 4 enjoyed it.
This is an ok place to take your young children. If you have the membership which I do you can't complain about it being free. It is small but for my 2 yr old we can spend an hr or 2 in the afternoon with him running around and he loves it. It's no where near the size as other museums in the membership but we will come again.
We want to thank you for taking the time to give us a positive review. We're glad your children enjoy their visits!
