About The Discovery Science Place

The Discovery Science Place is a children's museum in Tyler where visitors navigate four distinct galleries featuring state-of-the-art, hands-on exhibits across earth sciences, physics, and social learning. Young minds explore geology through caves and dinosaurs, experiment with movement and energy, and develop social skills in real-world playgrounds designed around role-playing and imagination. The museum partners with local experts including Brookshire Grocery Company and Southside Bank to create exhibits. Families can attend birthday parties, field trips, summer camps, and special events like the Spooktacular Fun Fest in October. Adults are admitted only when accompanying a child at least 16 years old. Qualifying families with EBT cards or WIC receipts may receive admission for three dollars through Museums for All, reduced from the regular ten-dollar price, with the discount covering up to four people per card. Tickets are sold online on the venue's website.
