Had a fantastic time at Museum of Discovery! This is one of the best family attractions we've visited. There were hands-on exhibits for all ages, plenty of interactive activities, and lots of opportunities to learn while having fun.
The museum is clean, well-maintained, and the staff was friendly and helpful. We spent several hours exploring and still felt like there was more to see. The science exhibits were especially impressive and kept both kids and adults engaged.
If you're visiting Little Rock with family, grandchildren, or anyone who enjoys learning and exploring, this is a must-see stop. Well worth the visit and we'll definitely be back the next time we're in town! 🚀🔬⚡🦖
We spent the morning at the Museum of Discovery and it was AMAZING. The staff was so kind and so present! They were always walking around, answering questions, or doing demonstrations. The museum is full of interactive spaces for kids while also being incredibly informative. I was also impressed with how clean it was. Multiple times when we were there, people were walking around keeping the place spotless. I can’t recommend this enough if you are in the area! My children were 5 and 2 and kept them both very, very occupied.
Amazing science museum with a fantastic variety of interactive activities and exhibits. The Museum of Discovery creates a fun environment where visitors can learn while exploring at their own pace. The exhibits were creative, informative, and suitable for all ages. Everything inside the museum was very clean, modern, and professionally presented. The atmosphere felt welcoming and energetic without being overwhelming. One of the best parts was how interactive the displays were, making the experience memorable and enjoyable from start to finish. The location is convenient near downtown Little Rock, and the museum is definitely worth visiting if you are in the area. I would absolutely return again and recommend it to families, tourists, and anyone who enjoys science and discovery.
Everyone who worked there I interacted with with very nice. The people that were engaging with the children seemed happy to be teaching them and watching them have fun. There are so very many different interesting and educational set ups to explore. Definitely plan on taking my daughter back some day!
We have come here for a long time, but today was our first birthday party. Our host Alexis was phenomenal, and I'd highly recommend their party packages to anyone!

★★★★☆This place is incredible and more if you have children who you want to have a great time! It’s a very family activity, for adults it’s like a plan to get out of the routine! The only thing is that some activities must have better maintenance.
REVIEW ONE OF TWO: The Natural State
Be it the Ozarks, the Delta, the River Valley, the Timberlands, or the Ouachitas, "You'll be amazed by Arkansas," I told my small but mighty team of consultants as we took a long lunch break to a space I return to time and again. Pretend, dear reader, that I am narrating this review in a calm, inviting tone paired with a background track of acoustic guitar music.
Museum of Discovery is a premier science center that features more than 90 hands-on STEM and STEAM exhibits, easily keeping both kids and adults engaged for hours. The interactive setup here is something that would make even Bill Nye the Science Guy giddy with delight. Seriously.
The Tornado Alley Theater gives you a solid, immersive experience, while Discovery Hall delivers superb interactive learning that actually sparks curiosity. The Three-Tower Climber is also a standout feature, giving kids (and adults) a unique space to climb and explore. Plus, the museum is in a prime spot right in the River Market District, so it is simple to wrap up your visit and walk straight to nearby restaurants and shops.
Museum of Discovery is a standout destination in Little Rock and well worth the trip. FYI: MoD was originally founded as the Arkansas Museum of Natural History and Antiquities in 1927 by Bernie Babcock, relocated several times, and finally settled at the RMD location in 1998 when it was officially renamed the Museum of Discovery -- and TY, President Clinton, for the keynote.
HUZZAH!!!
Its was the kiddos springbreak and took a trip to Arkansas and had to stop a the Museum of Discovery. It was definitely a nice place to take the kiddos and explore what they have. The staff was kind and helpful with telling you what kind of things they had at the museum.
