Remember how fun and interesting everything was when we were kids? Even the smallest of things – a flower, a bee, a balloon – could set our imagination on fire. If we’re lucky, we hold onto some of that childhood awe as we move into adulthood. A day at the Discovery Center, a massive attraction in Springfield, Missouri, holds so much promise – for the kiddos who will go on an interactive adventure and for adults who might feel that childhood awe ignite again.

Turn an ordinary day into a memorable one that's filled with fun and learning with a visit to the Discovery Center of Springfield, an interactive science museum that's a hit with visitors of all ages.

You have around 200 interactive exhibits, covering 50,000 square feet, to explore. The museum is designed for visitors of all ages - from the little ones to adults.
The fun starts on the first floor; the little ones can explore the playground and use giant blocks on a one-of-a-kind Minecraft Adventure.
