Reviews of Museum of Discovery (Museum)

Shannon Westover

I love how much the workers are in showing and explaining things to kids, yet holding their attention. We all know kids want to just touch everything, but its heartwarming to know they. Are learning as well. We have attended a party here as well and it was fun. My 8 year old approves.

Lawrence Raybon

The only reason this didn't get 5 stars is that not all the exhibits were working (well or at all, they just seemed broken with no note or anything which was frustrating). That being said there was tons of stuff to do and it is well worth the price. Our four year old spent two hours bouncing around and never got bored. Very informative and interactive with a good balance between fun and learning. We could have easily spent all day at the Museum of Discovery and intend to do so next time we are in town!

Xavier Guzman

Great spot for the kiddos to learn and explore. They have excellent interactive exhibits that include the music chamber and the teleprompter desk. Adults and children will have fun exploring and getting hands on with magnets, pulleys, and paper planes. There is even an interactive digestive system exhibit that is plenty fun for everyone. The museum is worth the price of admission and a great way to spend wholesome fun with the family. I'll post pictures later as they were taken with a DSLR and not a phone.

Kaitlyn Rouse

The atmosphere is great. My younger sister immediately became close to another younger girl there. The animals all seemed happy and comfortable. The people were nice and understanding.

Derek M

Exciting and fun place with interactive exhibits. Science after dark events are a lot of fun! Unfortunately at the last event they ran out of beer but still a lot of fun!

brandon smith

We attended Science after Dark. It was a nice date night for me and my wife. That had interesting activities and some God food options as well.

Adelle Ironside

Lots of hands on activities and play areas for kids that are both educational and fun. Adults and children alike enjoy the different stations and projects.

Richard Hawkins

We are season pass holders. Kid loves this place. Always clean. Great entertainment.

zack Kirkland

Great place to take the kids! Very informative and fun. Interactive experiences await you

Tonya Book

We absolutely loved it. The kids had a great time. I'm impressed with the quality and quantity of the exhibits. My only wish is that there were more fish and reptiles on display, but great place to take the kids.

Stacy Holbert

Really great interactive science displays and activities designed to teach kids about science. My husband and I enjoyed it too.

Heather Stark

We love this place. We spend 2 to 3 hours a visit and my son is never ready to leave. The rotating exhibits are always cool.

C Burton

We are about to purchase memberships for the year. My 3 year old had a lot of fun. They have awesome events during the day for kiddos and their science after dark events are fun for the adults.

Roger Jenkins

This place is BANGING! if you have kids and want to educate this is the place to be.

Lauren Faulkner

This place was great for both adults and kids. The different exhibits were really neat and while kids' attention spans are short and they're moving on to something else, the material is interesting enough to make the adults linger. My 8yo is obsessed work tornadoes right now so he loved the "tornado room" where you sit in a room they has a simulated tornado going on outside. Good family trip. We'll definitely be back!

Nicholas Romano

Went on $1 Sunday...which is great and obviously worth it. Surprised wasn't too busy, so kids could play without much wait or even at all. Staff super polite and nice with kids. Overheard parents saying the place improved over last time they went. Anyway, great place to bring family.

Dagger Dance

Was $20 for 2 people for a day pass on Saturday.... a good idea for a cutesy date. Also to the girl working the front who talked eyeliner with me.... NYX Epic Ink Liner.

Nicole Connelly

My son and I had a great time! They done a live science experiment for those who wanted to watch, it was very entertaining.

Matthew Dodd

awesome place for kids. 2 hours is the perfect amount of time there

Chad Caffey

Great fun for the whole family. Went on dollar day to see what it was about, even at full price it wouldnt have disappointed. From outside I was discouraged, but once inside it was pretty good. Kids loved the place.

Kianny 3

great place to go with the kids. they love it

LEGOKINGKD 110

Great place to take kids. Had a great time.

Nayna Patel

It's was a good way to entertain a lively 3 year old on a rainy day

jessica beverley

We were visiting family in Little Rock but it was raining and chilly so we needed something to do inside. My kids had a great time, there was lots for them to do and it was a great way to waste a couple of hours. However my kids are 6 & 3 years old so half of the stuff they were to young to understand and quickly lost interest. They spent the majority of the time with the mini-playground type thing and the giant legos. So id say its geared more for kids between 10-14 as far as the interactive science/educational exhibits. But we still had a great time! Even the adults learned some things, they also had some live animal & insect displays that everyone enjoyed. Maybe if they had employees/actors to explain or demonstrate to get the kids more hyped up and then chose a kid to try it out in front of the other kids, more of them would want to try. But the younger ones just didnt have the attention span for waiting in line to try an exhibit

Chelsea Medearis

Great place to take kids, my son loved it. Kinda pricy but you get a discount if you have EBT benefits. Awesome storm recreation. And plenty for all ages to do.

Carol Robbins

Great place for your kids to learn and play.

Eric Carter

the museum of discovery was a favorite in my childhood and they have improved it to be even better. a great space for kids; every exhibit is interactive. also when i go there for drunk science it is a blast! don't call it "drunk science" when you are getting a ticket they'll look at you weird. anyway i really like the themes of the events and the different community organizations they bring in for Science After Dark

Bryan Castleberry

My 2yo had a blast! Lots of interesting things here for all ages

Rajeev Reddy

awesome place to hangout not only for kids but everyone Love their tesla tour

Casey Williamson Photography

We had a blast. I wish we would have cake earlier so we could have stayed longer.

Nikolas Everett

Friendly staff, wonderful exhibits, good use of space, wonderful demos.

Some One

We had a blast! Lots of fun, interactive things for the kiddos to do.

Terence Marshall

Took my daughter for a father daughter outing. She enjoyed the hands on approach to learning new things with the exhibits here.

mnm 420

Good and staff okay. Could use more seating

Theresa Coleman

ATA tournament, grandchildren had a wonderful time.

Daniel Corley

Awesome place to take your kids I had so much fun and they have a cool collection of geodes and rocks for sale

Angel Fletcher

Always a good time. They do a great job with programming like Tinker Time and Wiggle Worms. The staff is wonderful and sincerely engaged with the children. Love that volunteers are often mingling and introducing interesting animals to the little ones.

Riley Lucas

Did the museum after dark event and had a blast!

Terri Frazier

Really wonderful. My group all enjoyed ourselves very much. I brought my homeschooled children ages 10-1 and there was something for all of them. We also really liked the demos they are great at keeping the kids interested and excited about science.

Lorenzo Balderas

Great place for exploration. Lots of different hands our exhibits for a wide range of ages. I cannot wait until my son is older so we can go back and try some of the more advanced stuff!

Mark S. Barnes, Jr.

This is a great place to bring your kid(s). Individual entrance prices are a bit steep, but the family membership is totally worth it. We bring our daughter here almost once a week, and she loves it.

Amy Ramirez

So fun. So much better than it was a few years back. Can't wait to go again. Parking sucks. That is the only thing I would change about it.

Larry Wilson

My wife and I took our 3 year old son here and he absolutely loved everything here! We spent about 3.5 hours here going to each room. The little kids room with the giant Legos was a huge hit. I really appreciate how this museum helps make learning fun as well as cultivating the natural curiosity in all children that come here. My family will be returning here again in the future.

Ross

Very fun, a friend and I went to explore Little Rock and this is basically a staple. The interactive exhibits and the way the information is presented is fun and makes it exciting to learn even as 20 something year olds lol

michelle mangual

This is a picture of my kids eating lunch on the floor because we were told to leave the only eating area. Why because a group camp was coming in. They had no sign up telling people that the area was reserved for this group. Knowing that they do have big groups like this coming thru don't you think it would be a good idea to set up tables in the huge lobby for all the other people that come thru that are not in a group. I for one will not be back.

oleg karaduta

100% best indoor attraction for kids in Little Rock! Some permanent exhibitions together with rotations makes a perfect match. 3-4 hrz will flew away one will not notice how.

Keith Kennedy

Great time taking the grandkids to have hands on experience.

Kathryn McCoy

Love the museum!! They have wonderful activities for my kids and are the staff is so nice and engaging! Price is steep if you only go once, but a family pass is worth it if you plan to visit more than once a year!! Wish parking was a little better but it is what it is in the downtown area.

Astrid Turner

We used our ASTC membership to get in for free and it was a lot of fun! So much for my 9 year-old to do. We both enjoyed it and we will be going back tomorrow because we ran out of time.

Subscriber Unknown

Only 2 dollars to get in for recipients of EBT and their family(up to 5 people). You must try the Tornado Room...It feels like you are taking part in an actual tornado.. My grandkids and I love this place...Hands on and fun for the family.

Roy Canada

99%of the exhibits worked which is 80% more than the exhibits at the Ross Perot in Dallas. Had a good time.

Angela Barton

It's just an amazing place to tour....this was my first visit and loved it.

Kennedy Quarders

I love the science after dark. Really fun and creative!

Victoria Emmanuelita

This place is so awesome I have been going here for a while. Its just a great place to learn and have fun at the same time.

Terron Strong

Had a great time, was there for a field trip with my 4 year old and we all had fun and the kids left with some knowledge.

F Middleton

Great place to see and learn about things we dont normally think about. The tornado room is awsome.

Official Kaitlyn1

Awesome place. Really enjoyed going. Our 9 year old grandson loves science

Chasity Drinkwater

Lots of fun for kids off all ages to go spend a couple hours or even all day.

Patrick Hamilton

Reasonably priced museum that's always filled with something new and exciting for my 6yr old to dive into.

Danielle

Not really much to it. My daughter really enjoyed the tornado house they had as we are from South Carolina and barely ever have tornadoes. The tornado tunnel was fun. Some of their displays didnt work. We were a little disappointed.

Margaret Lyons

Excellent museum. Highly recommend. Something of interest for all age groups.

Blake Davenport

Great atmosphere for kids and adults alike. Last Thursday of each month they have an "Adult night" event where there's adult beverages and food for purchase. $5 entry and a great, different idea for a date or a group date.

787.478.6899 Whatsapp

Lot of science and math in a format kids can relate to without getting too technical. My kids were playing and having fun for a few hours completely forgeting about lunch. They didn't even want to leave when I brought food up. The reception desk let's you back in after lunch with a receipt.

Hector Murillo

great place for kids, plenty of activities for them to keep busy. Sunday prices seem to be much cheaper i assume due to shorter hours they are open. 1pm-5pm. overall excellent experience

Sasha Paranuk

Its not got anything new in it. Same old stuff they always have.

Kim Edwards

Very interesting & enlightening.

Jane Bakari

Really awesome. Low cost for great fun.

Super fun place to visit.

GEORGE HALL

Awesome experience grandkids are retired out

Bippin Daftardar

Very interesting and engaging science museum fir kids and even adults.

Sarah Kennedy

This was an amazing museum for our 3 year old (and the 5 adults ranging from 28-57). Plenty of interactive exhibits and activities where you can have fun while learning. We stopped to stretch our legs and let the little one play during our road trip. The price wasn't bad and they offer a discounted rate for kids and teachers. I will definitely go back whenever I visit again.

Darren Brannigan

A great experience, I took my wifes nephew here, and he had a blast. Exploring and learning everything from weather, to the human body, all interactive. Keeps little and large minds occupied. I enjoyed it as much as he did. Lol

F and I Mills

Disappointed that I drove almost an hour and paid admission and parking for a playroom. It was nothing more than a playroom for kids. Overcrowded, loud and highly dissatisfying. Wont be back. Mid-America museum is much better.

Phon Macy

Made a pit stop here while driving through Little Rock. Great little kids museum to keep our little one entertained for a few hours. Affordable admission, can’t remember if there was a food area in here.

Emrah Unal

There are a lot of great activities there

Tom Ross

For kids who never ever get off the electronics stay stuck in their phones it's a good place to take them where they have to interact and be part of something. A lot of fun and you learn a lot great place

Johanna Hundley

Its a good place for small children interested in science. My 5 year old loved it and my 12 year old not so much. Its similar to the one in Bentonville.

Christopher Brown

Great place for kids and adults. Very educational.

zu phlos

I really enjoy that they have an adult night there with free activities.i only wished it were more than once a month. It's nice to explore the museum and feel like a kid again. Science is fun to explore no matter how old you get. I'm glad this museum gives us adult kids the opportunity to.the gift shop is full of neat science toys too. I always find something interesting there.

Tomasa

I loved visiting this place but if you've seen it once you've seen it all.kind of expensive too. kids are too unfocused for me to feel like i got my moneys worth , i enjoyed it when i went alone however and was able to read everything. they do do exhibits but they don't have good advertisement for when that happens.

Mrs Rowe

I love this place, my 1 year old and 4 year old had a blast

A. Fleming

My kids had a blast! The tornado simulator was great! I had to experience that twice myself!

Bette Barnes

I maintain a membership with this museum for several years. My son who is now 7 has alwasy enjoyed visiting the museum both for annual events and for spare time. The museum is contantly changing exhibit types. The themes are always colorful and engaging. The museum also has permanent exhibits that bring back nostalgia from when I used to visit as a child. Everyone is welcomed to "discover." This hands-on museum is a place that can keep you and your child busy for hours. They have a small dining area where vending machines are located.

Katie Humphries

This place is amazing! Full of science, imagination and interactive play. Well worth the money. Great for all ages! Plan for atleast 3hours to get to really enjoy it all. We will definitely be coming back again.

Jaxson Via

They always have fun activities for the kids but a few might make them a bit dirty

Christine Rohn

Awesome, fun, educational. We come visit every year and my grand daughter loves it.

Kathy Bailey

I went with some of my granddaughters to the dinosaur event, it was amazing and we are already looking forward to the next time!

Walter Thrasher

I just love this place. I mean....my children love this place. Oh heck, yeah me too. We have so much fun when we come. Young or old. Your never to old to learn and have fun.

Alesha Jefferies

My kids & I could have spent the entire day here! It was so fun! They’re under 5 years old & has an absolute blast, but plenty of it was interesting & engaging to me too, so I think they’re well-stocked for all ages of visitors.

Andrew Dye

Really cool interactive museum. A lot to do and see.

Andrew Pickett

Some new exhibits that improved the museum. The preschool area didn't feel as clean as it should being a very hands on museum.

shawna combs

So many interesting hands on things to do.

William Burgess

Great place for kids to explore and learn. The kids loved exploring and learning. There a plenty of exhibits for kids to play with even on a busy day. The tape maze was a big hit this time. The "tubes" are also good for at least 20 minutes of fun!

John Hedrick

Excellent, exceeded expectations. Do visit.

Gokhan Yavas

Best place to spend $85 for membership. My daughter loves this place. Nearly every Saturday we go there for wiggle worms (an educational scientific program for kids). We also use the membership to get into museums in other states and countries for free, which is one of the best perks! The museum also does a lot of programs and festivals and members get in for free for all events.

Desmond Simmons

Great lplace for kids and adults

Micah Gipe

Very cool place! A very kid friendly place. Adult science nerds (like me) will also love it!

Virginia Russell

The volunteers help so much with educating the visitors to this place.

Harold Langston

It was absolutely fantastic. You will have just as much fun as an adult as the kids do. Can't wait for our next visit.

Terry Dantzler

I thought it was really great. I believe I was having more fun than my daughter.

Chasity Acton

We went there on my sons school trip and we love it its clean lots of fun for the kids I will be going back every chance I get

Mallory St.Clair

My almost 2 year old loves this place and so do we!

Amanda

Totally worth checking out! So much interaction!

Kendrick Raino

Fun for kids, adults, tourists and natives. As the building is named there's always something to discover here. If you're looking for something fun to do that doesn't involve braving the elements I highly recommend checking them out!

Chris Davis

The kids enjoyed it. There are many interactive exhibits for the kids to play with

Shay Phillips

So fun! I'll be taking my future students here for sure!!!!

Blake Smith

Little Man is only two but he had a great time here! And he will have plenty to do as he gets older too. It is a great children's museum.

Tiffany Jamieson

Went for my youngest childs field trip and for almost a 3 hour drive, it was not worth it.

Natalie Nelson

I had a great time with my kiddos

Kalen Sanders

This is an awesome place. They can get ya with the $5 extras tho. They are just mini exhibits basically

James Santiago

This place is awesome. I don't care how old you are, you will have a blast here! They are constantly updating exhibits and putting out cool stuff. Even if you've gone before, stop back in!

Wayne Hawkins

Great and inexpensive fun for the whole family, learning, playing. Great shows and very informative staff.

Nathan Lesley

Great for kids an adults. Clean. Good exhibits.

Greg Spontak

We go regularly - at least a couple times a month. The kids love it. At least some exhibits change regularly (every few months?), so there's new stuff to check out and it doesn't get stale.

William Watson

Educational and fun for the whole family! The grandchildren loved the hands-on activities and displays!

dewayne rowe

Really enjoyed my kids had a blast will b going back soon

Deven Jericho

Good place to go if you want to have some fun with your family or friends for an hour. They have all kinds of cool stuff to interact with and look at! They also have very helpful volunteer workers who show you how to work all the objects! Just wish it was bigger though. I prefer Mid America Science Museum. But the trip was really fun!

Aaryn Lamb

We only had about 2 hours to enjoy but we made the most of it! We had a blast! The kids can't wait to come back!

Karthikeyan Sivanandam

Lots and lots of activities and learning opportunities. Easy access.

Julie Malone

Such a fun and interactive space! My 3 children did not want to leave!

Rick Yorgey

This place is awesome - particularly for curious kids between the ages of 5-9 and curious adults of any age. So much fun (and educational) throughout the building. My grandson (age 7) and I had a blast doing weather reports together, experiencing 78 mph tornado winds, and exploring the effects of underwater earthquakes and the resulting tsunamis - along with loads of other hands-on exhibits.

Alan Jones

Great place for kiddos to run around, learn, and get tired out all at the same time!

Lara Stielow

Great time for our six year old. Fun plus educational is a bonus and there is a space for kids to get some physical energy out too.

Ruby Christine

Phenomenal museum! Had sooooo much fun taking my nephews to the Mess-tival! Then we explored the museum for hours! Very interactive and exciting! These guys take museum to the next level!

Kandy Leonard

Great place. The kids were discovering electricity.

Alexa Montoya

It was really nice when they first remodeled the museum, but quite a few displays look dated and a bit worse for wear. Would be nice to see something new. I went a few years in between visits and it feels like nothing has changed at all. Some of the displays aren't even working anymore. That being said, to someone who hasn't been before there is some really neat stuff to see and learn about.

Bethany Allen

My kids love this place! Lots of fun and educational exhibits. Parents are sure to learn something, too!

April Ambrose

So fun for kids and adults!

Kimberly Harris

That was my second time going to the Museum of Discovery and had no Idea that we were going to have fun I did not no that they had the

Joshua Brunson

The Museum of Discovery is a great place with hand-on activities and passionate employees that make sure you walk out with a smile on your face. I always remember my elementary field trips to the Museum of Discovery and the joy of getting out of school and exploring - discovering, new things that filled me up with wonder and curiosity. It is the perfect place for kids with 100% youthminded attractions. The shows they host are interesting and engageable. The museum is massive and is located in the heart of Little Rock. The staff is friendly and they even have a store with souvenirs so you will never forget your experience. The Museum of Discovery is an extraordinary place for the whole family.

Jennifer Jones

Awesome time with Jessieville Elementary on the field trip. Everyone needs to experience the tornado room which brought back memories for me but for the kids....it was a eye opener. But amazingly, it was their favorite exhibit. Thanks for making the museum strike the need to science. My son couldn't get enough of the fun so we will be going back.

Richard Atkison

Awesome children's museum! Having visited four others in four other states this one tops them all! Tons of things for kids to do and they always have special events going on. Definitely worth getting the season pass

Rebecca Chappell

Great museum, lots of interesting interactive exhibits.

Aleta Vogt

Tinkerfest was today. Had a blast!

Chelsea Murphy

So much fun! They are always going such fun things got the kids

Heather Kuepker

This is a really cool place! My kids loved coming here! It was pretty busy too but it's spacious enough so that it didn't seem overcrowded.

Zack Ide

The Museum of Discovery is one of my sons favorite places to go in Central Arkansas. We love the learning aspect of the museum! If you are looking for a fun thing to do with your family, I highly recommend you stopping by this museum and then walking the very short distance to the River Market for some food at one of the many restaurant choices!

Star Green

Always a great time to be had here. Love this place. Great for science lovers of all ages. I'm not sure who has more fun here, Me? Or the Kids?!

Steven P.

My 3 year old has a blast, fun place!

jennifer hyatt

Fun. Busy. Go!

Rebecca Hardgrave

Fun place to take kids. Make sure and wash their hands or purell fairly often since it is very hands on
