Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

It can be tough to plan a day trip when young children are involved, but the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery is a destination the whole family can enjoy. The displays are centered around science and natural history, and highlights of the permanent exhibits include an Egyptian mummy, a live Burmese python, and a large replica globe that shows changing images of Earth. The museum offers plenty of hands-on learning opportunities as well, and children and their parents can enjoy interactive exhibits like a rubber band art board, a demonstrative laboratory, and an enclosed tree house where visitors can watch birds through the windows.
