Try. Test. Tinker.

KidScience is Discovery Place's brand new early childhood exhibition where young children, ages 0-7, and their caregivers learn about science and math as they experiment, create and play together.

Through an extraordinary hands-on, minds-on experience, young visitors explore science through inquiry and fun in an environment developed according to early childhood learning standards. All of the activities in KidScience help children explore fundamental concepts that are building blocks for science inquiry.

KidScience features six main topic areas plus a program space with reading nook and a special area designed for toddlers from birth to 36 months.
