Step into a world where every adventure helps children grow.
GROW! Nature Grows Character, Discovery Center Museum’s newest 3,000-square-foot exhibit, invites children and families to climb, build, explore, imagine, and discover together in an immersive, nature-inspired environment. Take a walk down the Perseverence Trail, write letters and hang sweet notes on the Kindness Tree, make a wish in the Wishing Well, work together to pollinate a giant flower in Bee in Sync, explore bugs and critters in the Curiosity Corner, take a moment to center yourself by the campfire in the Mindfulness Oasis, and test your bravery on the Confidence Climber.
