Lovely museum with rotating exhibits and a wide variety of antiquities. Plan to spend the day here in order to see it all and eat at their attached restaurant.

What a great spot for kids! I love that the local businesses sponsored and had expositions for the kids. We had a great time!

The kids liked it ok, but it's pretty expensive for a glorified advertisement for local businesses

We were visiting the area for the weekend and we brought our 3 year old son to the Halloween event this past weekend. What a wonderful space, so much to do for all ages. We will definitely keep the discovery museum on our ”must visit “ list for the future!

The museum is so cute. The price of admission is not expensive. It is a cute museum, the kids will enjoy themselves and it is nice to spend time there as a family.

Kids had a blast. Lots of things for them to discover, be educated, and have fun at the same time.

So fun and educational, every child in Santa Maria should go. Totally worth the trip. Fun for parents too. GO NOW before they become teenagers and hate you.

Great place in town to take your kids to occupy them for about 1 to 2 hours.we have been going here for about 6 months, and they've updated the museum multiple times. It feels like there's always something new for the boys to do

Great place that presents many hands on activities and leave it open for the parents that ask additional questions to expand the childhood experience.

Great place at a great price. You can spend a lot or a little bit of time with the interactive learning displays.and take home your own personal arts and crafts gifts!

My one year old and seven old have the best time at the museum. I'm glad they can go often and at an affordable rate. People from staff are really helpful and friendly.

As of today we visit about once a week. My 2 years olds love it, get the year family pass, they stay engaged for about an hour.

Wonderful compact museum for children. The older children love the arts and craft area. The younger kids love the wind tubes and scarves.

Great place for kids. Love to support the community. My daughter had a ton of fun at all the different exhibits. She could spend all day exploring and learning.

It's a good little museum. They regularly update the exhibits. Recently they put in a scarf vacuum tube. Their exhibits do a good job of providing options for kids of multiple ages.
