2 reviews for Creative Discovery Museum
Awesome place for kids of all ages (up to 12 or so).
Huge facility with a ton of diverse stuff for kids to do. We spent nearly 4 hours here with our 8 and 4 year olds and they just loved the place. They are Children's Museum "connoisseurs" and have visited many around the country. I think they might rank this as the best of the best.
Very reasonable cost (and affiliated with other Childrens' Museums around the country... so if your a member of your local CMA, you get in free if you have a reciprocal membership plan). The food/concession area is fine and cheap...nothing to special but enough stuff for everyone to get a bite to eat.
Very safe, very diverse, well maintained.
I can't imagine a kid not having a great time here ... and most adults will too.
This place is just awesome! We took our 17 month old son here while evacuating from Hurricane Gustav. This is the biggest and nicest place for children I have ever been. We were there for four hours and did not get to go in every room. Right when you walk in they have a huge water play area that was very intricate and looked like fun. We skipped this and headed to a big area called the Little Yellow House. It had a little house setup with toy washing machines, dishwasher, refrigerator for small ones to play in. There was a tree house with a slide. Only 4 and under children are allowed in this area. Next we went to the dinosaur dig area. They had safari jackets and hats so kids could dress up while they dig up dinosaur bones. The sand was very fine and high quality. You could also dress up like dinosaurs with tails and claws. Next we went to the music area. They had three rooms each with different instruments and such for kids to play with. My son loved the percussion room the most. We didn't go to the theater section where kids could dress up and perform on a stage. Next we headed upstairs to a play area that was Clifford themed. There was plenty of stuff to play with and a small slide for small children. On the roof they have an area that teaches you about pulleys and levers, but with really cool activities. There is a chair you sit in and pull yourself up with a rope to show how a pulley works. I can't say enough good things about this Museum. Downstairs had so many rooms and activities that we didn't even get to see them all.
