We had a blast this year at Children's Fest and were amazed to see all of the neat structures that kids (and adults!) made with our new timber stackers!

 
Discovery Dash 2015 - Update

This summer is shaping up to be quite busy for us here at the CDM and we are sure that you and your families are very busy too!

There are so many super fun activities happening this summer in the city, so in light of this we will be postponing this years' Discovery Dash. 

We do have our feelers out though for a possible date in the fall!

New this year, the Children's Discovery Museum has joined forces with Map Camp - a geography-focused day camp!

We are also excited to be hosting the camp on Wednesday, August 12, where campers will come to the museum for the day to explore mapping at the museum!

Upcoming in August

The CDM is going out into the community! During the month of August we will be out at some of the parks around the city! 

Did you know
Legend has it that popsicles were invented by an 11 year old named Frank, who mixed soda powder and water in a cup and left it outside accidentally overnight and it froze! Mmmm delicious.
