Port Discovery Children’s Museum

Port Discovery Children’s Museum, voted one of the Top 5 Children’s Museums in the US, is no stodgy, please-be-quiet type of place: It’s an interactive play zone where imagination reigns. Exhibits have included everything from interactive robots to a trip through Alice in Wonderland’s surreal world. Among permanent exhibits are the following:

• Miss Perception’s Mystery House, where kids help solve the baffling case of the missing Baffled family

• Adventure Expeditions, which takes kids on a magical adventure back in time to 1920s Egypt where they must decipher hieroglyphics and find clues to lead them to a pharaoh’s lost tomb

• Wonders of Water “WOW!”, a series of exhibits where kids get wet playing water chimes, building a fountain, and taking a trip through Plumbers Park and Earth Today, a real-time atmospheric display

• The Diner, a realistic 50’s style diner where kids can pretend to cook and serve food to their parents

• Harvest Hill, a place for kids to barter, sell, or trade products at a pretend roadside market

Port Discovery, located in the Power Plant Live! plaza, has something for all kids, from the very youngest toddlers to school-aged youngsters curious about how the world operates. And parents will have a blast too!
