The Discovery Science Place Review

What a great place for kiddos of all ages! Tons for them to do and learn. Only down side is the short hours.

We have been at least 3 or 4 times & have tons of fun everytime. My LO favorite exhibit is the grocery store!

Visited with my grandson during his class trip. The kids had allot of fun. We'll definitely be going back to explore some more.

Super great place for little or big kids! It's not expensive to go, and they offer military discounts also. Gift shop isnt super expensive either. It's fun for parents too! We love this place!

It's a good family experience. You can do things here you cannot do anywhere else in Tyler.

Will not let you in on less you have a kid with you

Not a lot to do here for adults, but a really fun place for families with children.

Fun for everyone!! The staff is awesome and everything is sooooooo clean!

Was fun. Could use so some updating. The kids loved it.

Gor frustrated trying to find parking for the museum. If there is one there is no sign that tells so. For people new to the area, we need to know where is the actual museum parking space.

Very nice, fun place for the family ,took my 9 year old she had a wonderful time

Excellent place for children of all ages. Lots to see & do for a great admission price.

Fun and exciting place for all..very clean!!! Most visit we stay over 2 hours!! Love love this place!!!!

Fun place to spend an entertaining time with children

Great place for younger kids they have rooms for them to pretend to be grocery shopping and stuff they didn't want to leave great prices to $8 for 12 and up $6 under 12 and they had a blast

I was very I.pressed with the economics side. The kids had a lit of fun. There was hand sanitizer everywhere to help keep germs at Bay.

Had my 5 year old sons party here and will 100% do it again. We had a BLAST and everything was clean and went smoothly!

$6 for kids
$8 for adults
This is absolutely the best place for kids age 2-11 in all of East Texas. It's actually better than the Perot museum in Dallas at a fraction of the cost. Perfect for rainy days if you have kids in the age range. Very very GOOD!

We had my sons 5th birthday here today and it was great! There are tons of things to do! We were there about 3 hours and the kids were entertained the entire time!!! Also it is one of the cheapest places in town to do a party!

My children had a blast! I love the way they had it set up and the price was very reasonable. We easily spent at least three hours there. Great way to spend an afternoon with the kids.

Not much there for adults who come with kids, so entrance fee seemed a little high since we're there to monitor the kids.

Very fun time with the kids, very clean and nice staff

You don't have to be a child to enjoy this place. So much to look at.

A classic since I was a kid, could maybe use some updates, but you can tell they're constantly putting effort into that and keeping it clean.

Incredible; lots of stations where the kids can act out real life scenarios. Grocery shopping, newborn hospital nursery, newscasting. Very cool!

It was amazing my son loved it very educational lots of activities and super fun.

Amazing! Went on a weekend of a business trip to have some fun. Even as an adult, this place is lots of fun and peaks curiosity.

Want to have an awesome day with the kiddos with hands on learning and lots of fun playtime? Then you should check this place out

The joy you see in your children's eye's is definitely worth every penny to visit this place! Restrooms and handicap parking are available. We spend hours going through all the rooms. Exhibits do change out so we see something new every time we go. Summer programs are offered for all ages. Please go and visit, you won't be disappointed!

Great place to take children and learn about science as well as to have some fun.

So much fun for all ages. Kids had a great time. Definitely buy a bag of mining soil and discover the treasures.

Great for kids of all ages! Multiple rooms of activities. The membership pass is worth being able to come again and again

This place is amazing for kids and even adults! I'm a college student and I love going here with my younger siblings. There is so much to do and so many things to discover and learn about. A great environment for learning and exporing that is kid safe.

It's a wonderful place where kids and parents can learn "hands on". I believe that you learn more and faster that way.

Great place to take kids. So many things to do. I would recommend getting a membership to save money and then go frequently. That is what we do with our young kids. They love it every time and don't get bored. We never have time to do everything in a single visit. I highly recommend.

Columbus Day weekend my family came to Tyler to camp at the state park but we were not having that good of a time due to the heat. I googled things to do in Tyler and decided to try this science museum. I was not expecting much, but this place was AWESOME! So many things to do all throughout. Each room had more and more fun. All of it is hands-on so my boys (ages 12, 9, and 5) had so much fun here! We spent almost 3 hours here and I think my kids could have stayed longer but they were getting hungry. This place really saved our trip! My youngest son is still talking about it and wants to go back. We are from Dallas and my kids had way more fun here than at the Perot. Looking forward to our next visit - Thank you!!

This place was amazing. I went with kids age 3, 5, 8, 10 and 12. Everyone had a blast playing with the different exhibits. After spending about 5 and a half hours my kids were disappointed to go but we will be back for sure.

Always a great experience both educationally and socially!

A entertaining place for kids. This is a little Museum that reminds me a lot the Houston Children's Museum but in a smaller size. My kids had a lot fun with the interactive exhibits.

Kids LOVEEEE IT! toys and learning and imagination stations hands on and a cave what more could you ask for? As an adult I would ask for a clean bathroom with toilet paper and maybe a powerwash and paint threwout the place but that's really due to all the play and love it gets. Go when they open cuz just 1-2hrs before closing is not enough to explore!!!

This is a great place to take kids of all ages. They have many fun, educational, and very interactive things to do. They work well for birthday parties for younger kids too.

Fun and educational for kids 2 to 12 or so. Decently priced for what it is.

I use to love going here for years until I recently met the manager. She was very rude both times me and my kids visited. We will not be buying a membership next year!

My grandsons pre k class thoroughly enjoyed themselves! It's all my grandson has talked about!

We had so much fun! There's so much for the kids to do and see. I haven't been there in years since they redid the front of the building and there is so many more learning centers. Definitely will be going back. Staff was very friendly and facilities were very clean.

This really is a cool place to take the kids or grandkids, there is something for everyone here

Great place to take your children to learn and alot of hands on stuff for them to do

Went there with my son and just had the best time he was 9 at the time and they seemed to have stuff for kids from about 4ish years old to a pre teen then it might get a little childish I guess. We both had a great time and made memories to last! Made a cute stop motion video that I treasure.

So much, fun so many things to do, the place is so big!

Had sons birthday 4th birthday here. So many things do do for a very wide age range of kids. Spent about 4 hrs just playing around the exibits.

It was fun. It was clean for being a play area. No trash anywhere, didn't smell bad. The workers were really nice. Good place to let your kids to burn energy and learn at the same time. All while indoors.

Our kids loved this place during our Tyler Vacation! They can slip into adult roles like being a nurse or a vet for one day and experience science on their own way!!!!

It was okay given the price but they do need to make money to stay open. My children loved the walk through exhibit as well as the others on gravity and television/broadcast. This place is definitely appropriate for ages under 10 but you may be pushing it if you go much higher. I definitely recommend trying the vacuum tube machine that simulates hurricane force wind. They also do outdoor stuff as well but that's seasonal.

If you need to keep kids occupied for a few hours one day, this is a good choice. It's not as large as some similar places I've been, but my kids who are ages 2-8 can stay busy for a long time. They love the pretend restaurant and grocery store, the fossil dig and cave area, and the climbing wall. The staff are friendly and helpful, and do a good job of keeping the place tidy. There are a few improvements I would like to see. First, the space area has some neat stuff, but it's not super interactive. There is one display of a rover controlled by an iPad that has been out of order for at least six months. Either fix it, or put something else in. Second, I would like to see some sort of safety harness for the climbing wall. My oldest daughter can climb higher than I can support her, and if she fell, even on the padding below, it would be bad. Finally, the display that shows 3D printing doesn't do anything. You can't actually see the thing working, so what is the point? Overall, a great place to take the kids over break, or when you need an activity on a rainy day. They also host birthday parties, but I don't have any experience with this.

We visited here this past weekend for the first time and am glad we came up. It was worth the 1 hour drive as this is the closest place to us like this. There was plenty to do for both of the kids and I enjoyed watching them learn and play at the same time. Everyone was friendly and the kids are already talking about coming back.

Fun place for young kids! My son is 9 and alot of it was geared more towards younger children. He really enjoyed the robotics and the dinosaur cave.

This place was very cute and great for young minds to learn and have fun at the same time.

SOOO much fun! Things to do for all ages. Plan to spend several hours there. I don't know if outside food is allowed and they do not sell food so we ate before we got there and closed the place down.

Always a exciting visit! Can't wait to see the news station update!

So many activities where kids stay entertained the whole time. It takes us between an hour or two for them to be done playing and ready to go home.
