Avampato Discovery Museum

Multi-level children’s museum/science center/art center.
We’ve been to a lot of children’s museums across country, and I was very impressed with the price of this one for what you got. Sometimes museums can be $30+ dollars for kids, this one only $9 for adults and $7.50 for kids which was very reasonable. Many different interactive activities from music to water to human body to industry.
We took our two school-age children and spent over 2 hours at the museum, probably could have spent longer but ran out of time due to closing (5 p.m.). Definitely would say this place is from age toddlers all the way to older children. So many interactive learning opportunities for kids. We did see a group of what looked like high school students participating in many of the activities which was really fun! They were being very respectful and not on their devices.
Public parking was across the street with a kiosk to pay. The museum is three levels with stairs and elevators. On the bottom floor there was an area for food and a few vending machines. Each floor had restrooms and a few stations for hand sanitizing. There was an outdoor area as well with a few games, beautiful sculptures, and picnic tables. My son’s favorite area was the human body area with the interactive dance and basketball or the music rooms. My daughter’s favorite area was the My Town downstairs, which was like an interactive child run town for free play. Very cool!
Overall decided to stop on a whim and glad we did. Would recommend people who are traveling with kids in the area.
