Thank You To Our
Amazing
Sponsors And Partners!
We come here regularly, and it's always a great time. There's a large variety of exhibits to see, activities for kids of all ages, and regular teaching events and workshops. It's clean, well maintained, and the staff are always friendly. Memberships are available, and we bought one right after our first visit a year ago. They have continued to expand the number of activities, and have changed and improved the available offerings over time. Highly recommend this for STEAM exposure.

This is the best kids museum! The staff are so kind, helpful, and excited to see the kids. Every Saturday morning they have a fun activity for the kids, along with their normal rotation of fun play areas. My kids have been coming here for years and still love to visit. We ask for a membership every year for Christmas!

My 2-year-old grandson had a blast here I his grandmother was keeping him over the weekend and it was a rainy weekend so I decided to take him to Discovery station and I could not get that kid to leave a little guy was actually falling asleep on the airplane he was sitting in. Finally he allowed me to scoop him up while he was asleep and take him out of there if my grandson would not have fallen asleep I have no idea how I would have gotten him out of Discovery station. I moved here to Hagerstown a year ago and I'm sorry It had taking me so long to discover this place I've always driven by it and never stopped in and I'm so glad I did for my hunter because now it's a once a month thing that him and I have to do together when he's here at my house. This place is fun for all ages even up till the age of 10 it's very Hands-On and active place and it's all learning while having fun how does learning get better than that.
