Founded in 1991, The Discovery Center of Springfield is a museum of scientific wonder where people of all ages can explore and learn in a hands-on environment. We hope to teach a love for learning and a curiosity about the world, the things in it, and how we fit into it all.
We have more than 200 exhibits (with the occasional travelling exhibit coming to visit) that take up an astounding 50,000 square feet of exhibit space. DCS is made up of 7 floors of hands-on technology fun, reading panels, and hands-on activities for kids big and small.
Here at the Discovery Center, we offer field trips as well as educational resources for teachers and families. We also offer inexpensive plans for parties and rentals for your special event.
We offer yearly memberships as well as daily admission.
