We really enjoyed our visit to the Discovery! There are many interactive exhibits and experiences! I really liked the big tire you can walk under and the plane you can sit down in! A great place to visit solo or family trip! Souvenir shop was excellent There was many neat science stickers Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
My toddler spent a delighted hour and a half in just one room! Educational, hands-on play is everywhere. As a teacher, I am delighted with all the activities my children get to enjoy here. The staff are polite and helpful. The whole building is wheelchair accessible so bringing a stroller is easy. I am overjoyed that my children have a safe place to play when the weather is too cold or too hot for regular playgrounds. I definitely recommend getting a membership.
A stellar place to take the kids and fun for the adults too! It can get crowded from time to time. Be sure to bring an extra pair of clothes for the little kiddos in case they get pretty wet playing in the water feature. We ended up buying a family pass and it's been well worth the price.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Really wish this place opened earlier. You could beat the heat an spend more time here. Honestly there is so much to explore and spend time doing you would need to come back 3/4 times to get it all in. Some exhibits lacked info or instructions, didn’t work, had no one around to help, or was so busy even waiting 30 mins we had to skip. I do recommend that they get another car for the little kids area. That seemed much more popular. One car with 5/7 kids all trying to use it. I’d also recommend a staff member there to encourage parental involvement. There were kids who were outside the age range making it difficult for the little ones to actually play an parents acting like it was free daycare just sitting scrolling on their phones. While other kids really wanted a turn with the car. Parents need to work on teaching kids to take turns. The wood shop was another favorite, but we missed it an didn’t get to it till late. Meaning we didn’t have much time to fully use its area to its full potential. You could easily spend the day in there with all the choices. We had 10 mins unfortunately due to time constraints. The parking lot is a decent size but by the time we came out at 1130 it was full. If I’m ever in Reno again I would definitely stop here. Staff overall were great.
Celebrated our girl's 1st birthday in the orange party room. Staff was very nice and everyone had a great time. Refrigerator in the party room was very helpful as were the carts that we could use to load/unload. I would definitely recommend for a birthday party or just a visit.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo wait
We were gifted a membership for Christmas. We finally went today. We spent 3 hours there. There's definitely lots for kids to do. I don't have toddler littles, but I very much appreciated that there was a play area for kids age 5 and younger only. My kids are 11 and 6, and they loved it. Gift shop has tons of cool stem toys, some I haven't seen before! The ONLY reason I didn't give 5 stars is so many exhibits were out of order, which typically is understandable but both our kids were at the museum end of December 2022 and my 11 year old stated that most of these were broken back then. Regular maintenance should be routine since kids are generally rough on things, so to see things sit for months without repair was disappointing. I would love to suggest that in the puzzle room or maybe on the map, you list the answers to the puzzles. We tried a few for a while but couldn't figure them out. We will be back again for sure.
Great place for kids to have fun while get a lot of science knowledge! Price is very good and works staffs are warm and nice, very impressive experience!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$11–15
Love this museum! My kiddo is only 1 so there isn't as much for him to do but he still had a blast with his little, 4 year old cousin. Educational play at its best and we love the Wednesday after 4 pm deal where everyone is $5.
Awesome science museum for the whole family. We had to go back another day on our way back from California to get the full experience. Friendly and informative staff.Wait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Had so much fun on our visit! All the the exhibits are hands on or interactive. They have a maker lab. The kids favorite was the cloud climber. Give yourself at least 4 hours if you want to fully explore!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
