Item Description

The Discovery Museums blend the best of science, children's and environmental learning on a beautiful 4.5 acre campus in Acton, MA. 

They believe in play as the way that children learn. In their case, it is play in both a STEM-rich environment and in a natural and inviting outdoor experience.  Children are the most natural science learners. Given the slightest encouragement they will ask a myriad of questions. If you surround children with stimulating materials and resources, they will follow their natural instincts to observe, predict, and experiment—in other words, to be scientists. Real stuff and simple materials are their preferred tools for learning. Add curiosity, creativity, and working together, and you have a simple recipe for creating successful learners.

Put another way, what they want is great play for kids. Play that is rich, varied, full of experiences, both solitary and with others, with found or repurposed objects, or just with imagination. Great play is what every kid needs and every kid deserves. The cost to provide it is very low. The cost of not having it is very, very high.

Their Mission: To inspire enduring curiosity and love of learning through interactive discovery, hands-on inquiry, and scientific investigation.
