Review & FAQ:

The Children’s Museum of Durango has been known by many names, including the Powerhouse Science Center, and the Durango Discovery Museum. It is an interactive museum designed with kids in mind, and its name—The Powerhouse—comes from the fact that the building where it is located was once a power plant. The museum offers exhibits and programs for kids that teach them about anthropology, chemistry, space, and more, with options for kids of all ages, from toddlers to those who are only young at heart. The museum is open year round, though its hours are reduced during the winter months.
