Located in downtown Chattanooga, the Creative Discovery Museum currently features Framed: Step into Art, a collection of interactive, world famous painting replicas. Kids get creative by helping to finish paintings, imagining themselves within the setting, and just being silly.

The center offers field trips and group tours, accompanied by an educational program. Homeschoolers may join STEAM Club, which inspires use of STEM concepts to solve real-world challenges and think critically. The club is best suited for kids K to 8th grade.

PlayGYM is offered daily and includes music, movement, language, and socialization activities for preschoolers. The center also hosts Countdown to Kindergarten, a school readiness program. Science based summer camps, scout programs, and events for sensory sensitivity kiddos are also offered.
