Very cute place. Everything is hands on!! I thought for sure my 6 year old son might not enjoy it that much because it seemed to be geared towards pre-school aged children, but he really enjoyed it. In fact he said he loved it and that he had a blast. He played with everything...sometimes twice. Even my 16 year old... More

We took our 4-year old here after several days of hanging out at the resort. Let's face it, once they tire of the pool, there isn't much in Palm Springs that caters to the preschool set, especially since the desert sun and heat can be tough on little ones. The Discovery Museum solves this by providing a nice, stimulating, and... More

Grandson was 3 when we visited and he loved it. We loved watching him. There were children of all ages and they all seemed to be having a great time.

There are a number of activities for the kids. Do your kids like to play dress up, or pretend to make a pizza in a pizza parlor, or perhaps they want to do their own grocery shopping with a cart just their size? Maybe they like to paint or draw and see their art in motion? Your kids may like... More
