Explore over 300 Interactive Exhibits!

Would you like to soar through the sky in a jet, then explore the universe? Would you like to forecast the weather in a television studio? Or show off your coordination and dance moves on a fitness floor? How about using your own body to generate electricity? You can even go outside to our Rock River Discovery Park and navigate the two-story maze, search for dinosaur fossils and make a splash in the water play area.

When you visit Discovery Center Museum, you and your family can explore the world, and even the universe, without ever leaving our inspiring environment. The thrill of exploration and discovery is built into every one of our 300-plus hands-on science and arts exhibits located inside Discovery Center Museum and outside in our Rock River Discovery Park.

Ag-Zibit

Ag-Zibit features 17 hands-on components that illustrate how agriculture touches our lives every day. Explore the science, technology, engineering and math behind the food, fiber, and fuel that comes from a farm.

Climb aboard a real tractor and operate a combine to harvest corn and beans. You can even see what the farmer sees when he harvests those crops from his seat in the combine.

Have you ever milked a cow? You can at Discovery Center and you won’t believe how real the cows look! Find out how farmers use GPS on the farm to improve how they plant and harvest their fields. You can gather the eggs from our hen house and play with our plush chickens, make a real corn husk doll to take home and more.
