About this activity

Kids, are you ready to experience the wonders of science and ignite a passion for endless exploration? Great, because we're off to Discovery World in Milwaukee!

Discovery World is a super fun hands-on (and very interactive!) science museum which bring out the spark of joy in a child’s eyes when they make a connection with a living creature.

The various exhibits throughout the space will allow kids to learn, play, and enjoy that satisfying “Aha” when they discover something they didn’t even know they were looking for! 

There is SO much for kids to enjoy at Discovery World!

First, why don't we talk about the aquarium! Kids can see strange, beautiful, and fascinating creatures from all around the world, offering them a chance to pet stingrays in their Touch Tank, and even adorable turtles, ball pythons, poison dart frogs, and more!

They can unleash their inner architect at the Block Party, or master Morse Code in the Innovation Station. They might even want to take control and pilot their very own plane!

From learning about the Great Lakes, to designing and creating at the Kohl's Design It! Lab on weekends, Discovery World is THE place for curious and innovative kids to really thrive!
