This place is incredible and more if you have children who you want to have a great time! It’s a very family activity, for adults it’s like a plan to get out of the routine! The only thing is that some activities must have better maintenance.

Took my son here- he loved it and couldn’t get enough. It was a quicker visit than we would have liked, as it was a spur of the moment drop in, but my little family still had a blast. We almost couldn’t pull him away from the area that had the nets and climbing tunnels. We got to see some cute animals, ran into a couple of people we knew (small world), and learned a lot! The gift shop had tons of... Took my son here- he loved it and couldn’t get enough. It was a quicker visit than we would have liked, as it was a spur of the moment drop in, but my little family still had a blast. We almost couldn’t pull him away from the area that had the nets and climbing tunnels. We got to see some cute animals, ran into a couple of people we knew (small world), and learned a lot! The gift shop had tons of goodies in it. We will definitely be back, so we can spend a good amount of time and do some hands on experiments.

Visited the museum with my two kids 7 and 4 on a Friday afternoon. The Museum is modern, clean, spacious and the exhibits are fun, interactive and engaging. There were not too many visitors and so my kids got to enjoy every area completely with very little wait time or no wait time at all. There are 2 levels and we found that 2-3 hours is enough time to see everything but you could easily spend... Visited the museum with my two kids 7 and 4 on a Friday afternoon. The Museum is modern, clean, spacious and the exhibits are fun, interactive and engaging. There were not too many visitors and so my kids got to enjoy every area completely with very little wait time or no wait time at all. There are 2 levels and we found that 2-3 hours is enough time to see everything but you could easily spend more time. There is a playground area and a play room with little kids space. There is a dining hall but no food available for purchase so I’d make sure to bring your own food if spending a few hours here. There were a couple of exhibits that were out of order but I find that to be average compared to other museums we visit. Overall this was a great experience and I found worth the ticket price and I would return again as would my kids who had a great time and learned a few new things as well.

Do you want to visit a place that is a valuable asset to the Little Rock community? Do you need a place to visit that will let your littles have a place to wonder and explore, but also be able to accommodate the older children and even adults? The Museum of Discovery is all of that and above. The Museum of Discovery in Little Rock, Arkansas is a fantastic place for both children and adults to explore the wonders of science and technology. From the interactive exhibits to their focus on STEM, the engagement it can help create is something for every age. I took my 4 year old and was in amazement at the wonder and excitement this place brought him. The newest areas that are geared towards his age are also the epitome of what makes up Arkansas with a wildlife and outdoor feel and play to the room. We were there for about 3 hours and my son was still engaged in it all. If there are any negatives, it would just be that it does get relatively busy on the weekends. Tips for your visit: *Consider weekday visits: To avoid crowds, consider visiting during weekdays or during off-peak hours. *Check the schedule: The museum often hosts special events and workshops, so check their website for upcoming programs. *Allow plenty of time: Plan to spend at least a few hours at the museum to fully explore all the exhibits. I highly recommend a visit to the Museum of Discovery if you're in Little Rock. You won't be disappointed!
