Chronicle Excerpt
The undisputed success of the Discover! Children’s Museum is a testament to excellent planning, stellar leadership and fiscal responsibility.
The museum is finishing up its pilot project with a day of free admission on Dec. 29.
It’s an opportunity for anyone who hasn’t stopped by to see this gem in action a chance to do so before it closes up shop.
The museum is a veritable paradise for children, with technological and interactive displays right alongside good old-fashioned staples of youthful entertainment. To see children enjoy the facility is to see unbridled displays of pure enthusiasm mixed with an environment that makes learning fun.
The museum opened in the Twin City Town Center in February for what was supposed to be a six-month trial run. The project was later extended through December. More than 14,600 adults and children have paid to walk through the doors of the museum since it opened.
That’s triple the number of people organizers expected.
