If you live locally, and have toddler through elementary aged children, annual membership is the way to go. The individual pass gets yourself and an unnamed guest in, and additional guests are only $10 each.

Excluding a few months throughout the year, there is a roving exhibit. A family favorite is the dinosaur exhibit that is virtually an outdoor setting where children can romp through and discover the internal workings of a dinosaur (and the output, aka poop). There is a They host events including Bubblefest, Pumpkin Launch, and Winter Wonderfest that are fun for all ages.

They recently added a demo kitchen where on weekends, family's can try replicating the demonstrated meal for a nominal fee. If you'd rather grab a quick bite to eat, there is an on-site cafe, but be warned that it's geared towards healthy eating and may not suit the needs of picky eaters. There are plenty of surrounding restaurants, so you're not without options.

A visit to Discovery Cube can easily be completed in 2 hours, but it's also effortles to stay longer, because some of the favored activities get busy. With an annual pass, this is a non-issue, considering when school's in session, the Cube is frequently empty. I foresee my family remaining members for years to come.
