Children’s Discovery Museum, Augusta

My toddlers and I had a great time. There were lots of activities to keep them busy - some things were a bit dated though.However it is a bunch of things all crammed into one large room that is much too small for the amount of kids running around. I heard in May 2020 they are relocating to a larger building. I do recommend a visit though! Very inexpensive with the Groupon. We spent 2hrs playing.

Great for sm. kids, the touch aquarium wasn’t open for kids to touch, the train worked but needs maintenance. Books were all over the place. They would get sold (even if just for a donation) if it organized. Craft area needs more craft things to do (stencils, stamps, stickers, paint, paper, etc.) Kids go there. Keep it clean so germs/illnesses aren’t passed around. I’d like a chance to come organi

Kids loved it!

The Children’s Discovery museum doesn’t look like much from the outside, however inside there are an abundance of free play options. The smallish intimate environment fosters creativity and interaction between the kids. Unlike many children’s museums where parents escort their kids from exhibit to exhibit this place is like walking into one giant play room. Parents can relax and let the kids take charge of their own experience. The facility is packed with creative play things from old telephones to giant eggs. One charming aspect of the place is the clever reuse of every day items. In place of items purchased from catalogues there are retired cash registers, a front loader, a giant box of LEGO, and a clever reuse of parts from a school bus. I wasn’t sold walking through the door but after two hours of my child being fully engaged without my oversight or guidance in the best uncontrived playroom ever we will visit again, and will bring snacks next time.
