Our Mission  

The mission of the Children’s Discovery Museum is to create for all visitors an interactive environment in which multi-sensory, self directed, open-ended learning experiences prove the motivation to develop knowledge of and respect for self, others, the environment and the world. The Children’s Discovery Museum’s vibrant, professional exhibits and events creatively complement public and private educational resources in an area, and are designed to promote discovery of one’s heritage, options and responsibilities as a local, national and global citizen.
