Fresno Discovery Center

Very neat place to take the kids, especially when you guys are bored and want to do something inexpensive and educational.

We went with the whole family and the kids had so much fun hanging out with all their cousins wonderful place for family time even the garden walk was fun for the kids

It needs major cleaning!
It's really cute place for kids to have fun and run around between places. My kids did had fun for a couple of hours but adults not so much. There's a lot of black widows and spider webs everyday. I had to be on top of my kids to make sure they didn't get near. (My kids age 3.5 years and a 1 year old)
This place has so much potential and maybe with the help of volunteers or the city to fix this place up. A lot of the science activities didn't work. My husband kind of clean the webs near the playground but there's so many. There's one guy really nice and takes out the turtle and black bunny for kids to pet and see. I would love to bring my kids here more often but not in those conditions.

There are some cool exhibits inside, but everything is pretty filthy and looks like it’s never cleaned. The wooden play structures outside look worn beyond the point of safety and there were a lot of spider webs. I couldn't let my kid play in them. Disappointing because it looks like this could be a pretty cool place if it weren’t so worn down.

Fantastic museum that is more than meets the eye. My wife and I took our 5 year old daughter and were pleasantly surprised at the number of exhibits inside and outside. There were also live animals and fish aquariums. The turtles were the best! The staff was helpful and knowledgeable the entire visit. If you are to visit Fresno take the trip to this excellent children's museum.

This is absolutely the best place to take your adventurous kids They get introduced to cool science, turtles, reptiles and all the neat stuff. They offer a great birthday package for you and your family to use the facility. The garden is beautiful. My family and I adore this place!

The Discovery Center has been around for many years. I went as kid many years ago. After a devastating fire. It has risen like the Phoenix. Great Place to educate children and have Fun. Around the corner are several restaurants including the "Triangle" known for "50"s style motif and great food.

This place is a really cool semi hidden gem in Fresno. It's only $6 per person kids 2 and under are free. There is definitely quite a bit to do for toddlers, I took my niece who is 2.5 and we spent the whole 3 hours there having fun. They have an indoor play area filled with fun learning games, books, toys. They have a play ground (definitely could use some repairs and upgrades), but still the kids love it. There is a turtle and coy fish pond, a bunny and even a tortoise out back. My favorite though was the Cactus garden and the Garden of the Sun (which is technically not a part of the discovery center, but is accessible through the discovery center). The cactus garden has huge cacti, really amazing! The garden of the sun is just gorgeous, tip go early in the morning for a better chance of it being open. The discovery center also has a cool science room, with magnets and other cool attractions. There is no parking lot, only street parking. Definitely recommend taking the little ones for a play date here. They also have tot time, they read books and my niece got to pet a toad.

Fresno Discovery Center is a great place to take your young kids and keep them active for a few hours. They have an indoor area with some cool little science activities, Legos, kitchen toys, and other little activities. They also have a large outdoor area with swings, slides, and a pond where you can feed the fish. There is also a cactus garden and a dinosaur area with giant dinosaur statues and a sand area where kids can dig for bones. I'd say it's meant for kids age 2-8 years old. I hosted my son's 3rd birthday party there. They have a nice party room that can fit about 30 people comfortably. The room has it's own kitchenette and restroom. This place has been around for a long time, and even though there are some parts of it that are a little run down, they have done a great job keeping it nice. The staff is very friendly and made the experience even better.

I just want to say the discovery center is so fun I love it so much it has a kitchen fire truck I really like the pond to feed the fish I love the swings and three slides. And the animal I love the rabbits the turtle the fish the dinosaurs and everything love everything even the turtles oh I wish I could go there every day and it’s really how many minutes I could stay there 100 minutes I would love that but it only stays up for three minutes but I love you so much too I love you thank you thank you for the fun times me aurora with the short hair now

Yes the Fresno Discovery Center needs a little sprucing up! But it is still a wonderful place for Toddlers and young children to go. Very helpful and personable staff. Many indoor hands on activities and outdoor activities also! The giant dinosaurs are a big hit.

Good outing for kids. My son had a blast. Have special events for kids throughout the year for the family as well.

We had a great time at the Discovery Center. The grandkids enjoyed the play area. Although they need to keep their shoes on because if all of the "Goathead" stickers on the playground.
The staff were awesome and very friendly! Dinosaur books being read with a Bearded Dragon on the readers lap was the highlight!
Also, don't leave before checking out the gardens on the South side of the property. If you are looking for ideas of plants to grow in our hot environment (cactus and vegetable garden) make sure to take a stroll and get encouraged from their excellent displays of fruit and vegetable plants.

This really doesnt look to good for me they shouldve made it bigger with there merch and arcade games and made it like a restraunt and with animatronics or a skate park or something it really looks small and boring but my sister would enjoy it

They should have two lines for reserved members and non members.
You have to wait in line til to pay for the entry after that they want you to go back all the way back where the line starts because you are not reserved member. That was waste of time they should organized it better then or just said no entry without reservation.

I love that they have a passion for education the public. They also are willing to take water turtles that are found on roads

Wasn’t sure what to do for Halloween it’s a very scary time. Had received an email notifying me of a Halloween event. Had to link purchase tickets online. Kids had a blast it was perfect. Thank you for saving Halloween ️️
