Discovery Space of Central Pennsylvania

Great fun for the curious of all ages! We are building a community model railroad display to use for learning STEM and other things.

Filthy equipment, many items broken or missing pieces, employees sitting on the floor playing, you see more aquatic life at the fish store. Not worth the money. Very disappointed.

Great place for young children with no time limit. Staff are very friendly. Marine life area is small but they have some interesting species. Definitely needs some volunteer help to repair some existing exhibits. The gift shop was affordable and had some nostalgic stem toys from my childhood. If they would offer more for older kids and audio explanations to better inform children. I think it would bring in more foot traffic. Overall we had a great time and I would recommend visiting.

We celebrated our son's 5th birthday party and we are glad we chose Discovery space. Entire space was clean and exhibits were rearranged nicely since the last time we been there. Staff were so friendly, attentive and cheerful. They patiently answered all my questions over the phone. Our little guests and their parents liked the space, kids enjoyed their activity and had lots of fun exploring around. Definitely recommend for parties.

Discovery place is a wonderful place to take kids! However, all ages can enjoy the activities. The activities are fun, interactive, and educational. There are many different types of centers, and you can move at your own leisure. There is availability to hold birthday parties there, and they have a little gift shop as well. Price of admission is very affordable, and you could stay as long or as little as you would like. Staff was very friendly and helpful! You can buy memberships or daily admission. Will definitely be going back again!

We have gone multiple times since the marine biology exhibit was added and the room is always closed. Today we were on our way in, and a staff person saw us. He said nothing and then shut and locked the door. There was a birthday party today and hardly any of the parents were watching their kids. The staff said nothing. Many of the kids were quite young. They were running around screaming. I also noticed an unsupervised child in a wheelchair having difficulty utilizing some of the activities. There were no staff people paying attention to help modify the activities so she could do them. I adjusted the green screen for her myself. It was heartbreaking watching her try to stretch her hands to be able to see some part of her on the screen. Most of the exhibits with tables have high bar stools, and there was no way she could get up to use them. I feel this place is not inclusive to children with disabilities which is incredibly sad in 2023. I hope they look at that and make some adjustments.

Fun place for kids. The older the kids get, the more they will enjoy it. But it is still enjoyable for a few hours for toddlers. There truly is a lot of interactive activities there and some of them are very educational!

The price is $7 a person, 3+ so the adults pay to get in as well, so it ends up being $21 if you take your kid.

It’s all in one room, the kids can wander around as they would like. The staff was friendly and helpful.

There were no seats throughout the activity center for the adults to sit on. And there is no type of snack bar, drinks, food, vending machine, water, etc.

It was so much fun for my kids to just roam free and experience a bunch of different fun stations. 1110% will return!

Spent a good hour with 2 preschoolers and they had a great time! It was a lot of fun and interesting stations to play with and learn from for so cheap. The only negative was that they advertise the sea life and then never mention to you when your paying that it isn't open. We found out about a half hour into the experience when we wondered back to the room on our own. I might just call ahead next time to plan for it. So many great building materials!

One of my 4 year old’s favorite places to visit. New exhibits come in and they move things around so he never gets tired of going. The fish tanks are great and he’ll watch the fish for 1/2 hour. Friendly/knowledgeable staff and we love the weekly Storytime/science lessons
