Discovery Museums
Discovery is an independent, self-financed hands-on Science Centre. Our customers, young and old, spend an hour or more with us, enjoying our interactive exhibits - there are dozens of them!
Discovery has over 60 exhibits covering a wide variety of experiences.
Most of our visitors spend at least an hour here - some as long as three hours.
Parents sometimes enjoy it so much they return on a second day, having left the children somewhere else: just to prove - it's not just for children!
