The Discovery Science Place

Igniting curiosity in young minds through fun, hands-on exploration! Discovery Science Place is a nonprofit, community supported children's science museum in Tyler, Texas. Founded in 1993 by community volunteers, the organization's goal is to provide an affordable, fun, educational place for families to experience hands-on learning. Families and students from throughout East Texas are among more than 72,000 guests who visit each year.

Donations to Discovery Science Place are used primarily to update existing exhibits and programs, secure new exhibits, to partner with other nonprofits to provide scholarships for camps and programs, and to offset operational costs. Admission fees are kept low so that more families can experience the museum. Donor support is necessary because those fees will never cover all of the costs involved with expanding our exhibits and programs.
