Discovery Place is a paradise of kid-friendly science exhibits and presentations. The museum's "Discovery Halls" are lined with seasonal attractions such as "Action! An Adventure in Moviemaking," permanent exhibits like the aquarium, the stuffed and mounted North American animal collection, an amateur radio education center, and the machine shop where kids can learn how planes work. The museum also offers a number of live programs and demonstrations, not the least of which is a chemistry experiment wherein children receive freshly made scoops of liquid nitrogen ice cream. If that is not enough, attend the daily "Rat Basketball" game, one of many aquarium feedings, or experience a rainforest animal encounter. Adult admission is $10, children ages 2-13 are $8. See website for group discounts, package deals, and membership information.
