The Rockford of Tomorrow Today
Together with the Burpee Museum of Natural History, we’re striving to enhance the future of our city’s educational, cultural and economic development. Learn more and join our cause today.
Discovery Center Museum is on the campus of Riverfront Museum Park, a Rockford Park District facility located in downtown Rockford. We share the campus with the nationally celebrated Burpee Museum of Natural History, and the Rockford Art Museum.
In our current location since 1991, we share with our neighbors a common goal to provide broad-based educational and recreational experiences for the Rock River Region. Together we strive to offer family-focused activities and fun for a newly revitalized riverfront area.
With the purchase of admission to Discovery Center Museum, you’ll receive $1.00 off entrance to the Burpee Museum of National History as part of our Same Day Savings Program.
Skaters, divers, and gymnasts speed up their spin by pulling their arms and legs in close. To slow down, they stretch out. This is because the farther away their weight is from the center of their spin, the more energy it takes to spin. Learn more about this concept in our Team Up! Exhibit.
