If you’re in Santa Maria with kids and younger visitors, be sure to include a stop at the Santa Maria Valley Discovery Museum on your itinerary. The non-profit museum was created to inspire the minds of youths, allowing them to explore their imaginations, the world, space, and much more in a safe environment. There are 25 exhibit areas in the 13,000 square-foot facility and almost all of them are interactive, letting the kids get hands on. Some of the museum exhibits include the Moxie Cafe, the Discovery Reading Tree, and the Discovery Farms Produce Truck. There are different programs held throughout the week like the popular Passport Thursday which will introduce the kids to different countries and their cultures.
