Look closer! Everything is connected.

Whats Happening In May:

Around The World:
Go international with global items from Discovery Place’s collections. Guests can match stamps, coins, sand, dolls, minerals and other items to their place of origin while getting up close to elephant tusks, textiles, dinosaur footprints, a rhinoceros head, fossils and more. Make sure to check out a new collection of masks from locations around the world including Africa, Alaska, Mexico, South America and India.

Have you ever experienced the joy of finding something wonderful? And, maybe you knew what it was and had been searching for it. Or maybe you had no idea what it was and just couldn’t wait to figure it out.

Explore More Collections is a one-of-a-kind environment where visitors engage in the process of finding, identifying and connecting objects with the natural world.

Visitors to the lab participate in authentic, dynamic activities that provide opportunities to explore big ideas through
inquiry including mystery scenarios (unravel a mystery based on objects and evidence provided) find out what makes a collection (use skills to create a ‘collection’ from a ‘bunch of stuff’) find patterns (observe geometric
shapes in nature and contemplate order vs. chaos) and much more!
