Engaging Curious Minds to Fuel the Future! Discovery Center at Murfree Spring is a hands-on, environmental, cultural and educational museum for all ages. The 32,000-square-foot facility, in the heart of middle Tennessee, features programs and exhibits that promote STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math) education. A visit to Discovery Center encourages the explorer to grow through purposeful play. Discovery Center hosts more than 120,000 children and families annually who visit, explore the exhibits, and tour the urban wetlands. Along with bringing in thought-provoking traveling exhibits, Discovery Center's permanent interactive galleries include a mini Farmer's Market, a Tiny Town, The Clark Maples Train Depot, a flight simulator, a two story Superslide, Water Works, an aquarium featuring Tennessee water critters, live animals, and the outdoor Nature Play. Adjacent to Discovery Center is the protected Murfree Spring wetlands with an elevated boardwalk providing walking views of a natural wetlands habitat home to ducks, herons, otters and muskrats. The Lily Pad Pond allows children to get up-close and personal with tadpoles, minnows, salamanders and more. Regular Center hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. General admission is $8 for ages 2 and older, and free for members. Memberships begin at $65 for families. Multiple free days are held throughout the year.
