For Your Safety
The Discovery Center’s policies on mask wearing and social distancing remain in effect due to the concerns for the safety of our littlest visitors who are not yet eligible for the vaccine. All visitors ages 2 and up are required to wear a mask.
If you have any symptoms of illness (sniffles, sore throat, etc.), please visit when you are feeling better.
We are committed to the children of our community and will do whatever we can to keep them safe.
