The Discovery Center offers an outdoor environment for your children to enjoy!

Mission Statement
An inner city educational science center offering children an outdoor hands-on learning experience to stimulate passion, curiosity and wonder for the environment and physical sciences.

The Discovery Center Teaches the Sciences to Children
We deliver science successfully to hundreds of children each year in a variety of ways, including field trips, camps, outreach, birthday parties, and more. The Discovery Center brings classroom lessons to life, making science fun through hands-on activities that get kids excited about learning.

Everything We Do is Focused on Making Science Fun
We believe that science should be an engaging subject for children, offering magic, exploration, and excitement. When taught correctly, it's fun. Children can see it, they can build it, they can hear it, and they can even taste it.

At The Discovery Center, imaginations are free to run wild, as are your children. Whether they are digging in our Dino Dig Site, learning about space in our StarLab, or fishing for creatures in our Walden Pond, your children will find something exciting at The Discovery Center.

The Discovery Center Offers an Urban Wildlife Park Right in the Heart of Fresno
The Center functions as an outdoor educational and recreational sanctuary for children who want to experience the natural world in a safe environment. We have a pond, native plants, areas to dig, and many other things to explore. Come take a tour of our site's many exhibits, including the Deutsch Cactus Garden and the Gemini Space Capsule, or sign-up for one of our many classes, from Animal Mania to Earthquakes and Volcanoes.

Upcoming Events:

Summer science camp is a great way for children to spend their long summer days! Join us for Space Camp, Magic Camp with Master Magician Tim, and take a trip back in time with us as we explore kid favorites from the past 50 years. Your children will do exciting experiments in our classroom and have fun playing in our six-acre nature park.

Bubbles and Color are this month's theme for Saturday Science! Your kids will use hula-hoops and wading pools to blow giant bubbles while they learn exactly why they take the shape of spheres. They'll try catching bubbles in a jar and try to figure out why bubbles like wet surfaces. Help your kids find the valuable science lessons hidden in some of their favorite, fun activities!

Come join The Discovery Center as we welcome local astronomers and star gazing enthusiasts to our grounds. Every "clear" Friday night the Discovery Center will host a "Star Party" on the lush grounds of the Adobe Picnic area. Everyone is welcome to attend this amazing event. Bring your telescopes, star charts, and blankets to enjoy a fun-filled evening beneath the night sky.
