Now Open!
Tuesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Imagination, curiosity, creativity, and inspiration are
not cancelled. Following CDC, state, and local guidelines, the Discovery Center has reinvented the visitor experience to continue providing a safe and imaginative place for learning.
BEFORE YOU LET YOUR MIND COME OUT TO PLAY – EPIC ADVENTURE CHECKLIST:
Plan for It. Our hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. We will adjust the flow of visitors through timed tickets, pre-reserved entry and exit times.
Buy Online. Buy your tickets in advance! Timed entry tickets for two-hour visit will ensure a consistent flow of families at a 20-percent capacity.
Buy tickets now!
Rock the Mask. We will check your temperature before entry using no-touch thermal scanners like in airports. Proceed to the hand sanitizing bars and then scan your online reservation at the Welcome Center. It’s all contactless! Plus, remember to rock the mask! Grownups, children ages 2+, and Discovery Center staff must wear masks that cover the nose and mouth to enter the Discovery Center. And now, let your mind come out to play!
PERSONAL EPIC ADVENTURE PACK TO EXPLORE AND PLAY
Minds-on fun will take the place of hands-on interactives as visitors go on an “Epic Adventure” scavenger hunt throughout the Discovery Center to earn the prized “gold” coin and become charter members of the “Adventure Society.”
Claim your individualized “Epic Adventure Pack”
sponsored by Union Pacific, complete with the tools you’ll need to do activities throughout the Museum and an “Epic Adventure Atlas” to help you spot clues within the galleries – all while remaining physically distanced from other families.
Explore four Adventure Zones on a one-way trail and collect clues at each zone to decode a secret. When you decipher the codes, you have completed your Epic Adventure and earned your coin to become part of the Adventure Society.
Please note
Tot*Spot is on pause for now.
SQUEAKY CLEAN IS ALWAYS IN!
The Discovery Center’s robust cleaning practices have leveled up! A larger cleaning crew – one for each gallery – will disinfect surfaces, components and “high touch” areas, like door handles. Wipes and “dirty bins” will be available for used toys.
In addition, we’ve installed five-sneeze guards, 10-hand sanitizing stations, one-hand sanitizing bar, HEPA filters, additional UV lights in our air ducts and removed nine-hands-on components. We circulate fresh air in our building frequently each day.
Deep cleaning with oxychlorine disinfectant will occur nightly. Our staff will be required to wear masks and our staff will be at each gallery encouraging families to maintain six feet of physical distance.
BUY TICKETS IN ADVANCE!
We will adjust the flow of visitors through timed tickets, pre-reserved entry and exit times. Members and visitors can reserve on
our ticket page or call (832)742-2800.
The Discovery Center is operating at 20% capacity which means only 30 timed tickets are available per hour. Make sure to plan in advance!
