Children's Discovery Museum

The striking 52,000 square foot purple building, designed by Mexico City-based architect Ricardo Legorreta, signals the purpose of Children's Discovery Museum to serve the needs of children, families and schools as a center for learning and discovery. Encompassing the broad themes of community, connections and creativity, exhibits invite self-directed, open-ended explorations, while programs provide facilitated, focused, and sustained interactions. Exhibit galleries are fully wheelchair-accessible and offer multi-sensory, layered experiences for children of varying developmental stages, interests and backgrounds.
