IRS990/Desc0The Creative Discovery Museum uses proven, evidence-based principles to engage the senses, inspire exploration, and ignite childrens passion for learning. While some guests may view a visit to the museum as merely a fun outing, research has long proven that play is the work of childhood. Through play children gain mental, physical, and social skills necessary to succeed in their adult lives.Pre-covid, the museum served 300,000 individuals annually, through museum visits, educational programs, free and reduced-price admission and much more.
