Come experience unique hands-on exhibits, classes, and programs that stimulate your imagination and curiosity. A visit to the Children's Discovery Museum located in Uptown Normal, Illinois creates a sense of wonder that excites the love of learning in children of all ages. Visit their website at www.childrensdiscoverymuseum.net.

The Children's Discovery Museum is a different kind of museum -- where touching the exhibits is actually encouraged. The exhibits are designed for kids of any age to touch, climb on, climb into, and even take apart and put back together. It's a liberty kids are seldom afforded in a museum -- or anywhere else!

The mission of the Children's Discovery Museum is to inspire the love of learning through the power of play.

Our mission is accomplished by providing hands-on exhibits, classes, and programs that actively engage the visitor in experiences that stimulate imagination, curiosity, and wonder.

Our exhibits, classes, and programs provide:

• Opportunities for children and adults to participate in a variety of learning experiences together, which deepens the parent-child bond far beyond the Museum walls.
• Exploratory and interactive play that encourages learning through object manipulation, imaginative role-playing, and sensory stimulation.
• Engaging activities that build a positive disposition toward learning and a heightened sense of an ability to learn.
