Discovery Museum Science & Space Center
The Discovery Science and Space Center is a great place to spend a rainy day. The museum is full of interesting exhibits both permanent and touring. The museum's focus is currently on educating children and adults on topics such as astronomy, animals, and archaeology. Grand expansion plans are in the works as the museum hopes to move to a new facility soon where the direction will be expanded to include environmental topics, green technology, and robotics.
A planetarium is on site as is a talking robot - one of the museum's favorite exhibits. Many of the exhibits are interactive and fun including one exhibit where children can try piloting a moon rover.
