The pint-sized city and family favorite, Discovery Town, is back and included with membership or general admission! Discovery Town is designed as a miniature town where children can engage in imaginative play while exploring various real-life professions and storefronts. Visit all of your favorite places including the veterinarian clinic, postal shop, pizza shop, taco truck, theater, kindergarten, fire station and more!
Starting the second week of December, Discovery Town will undergo a full holiday makeover with a Polar Playground containing a sock skating rink, glittering ice castles to build, and a cuddly polar petting zoo. This special exhibit will be in Woodward Exhibit Hall from October 12th – January 5th!
