Discovery Hall
Hands-on learning that makes science fun! Discovery Hall engages visitors in earth and physical science exploration with immersive interactives like the giant Great Lakes Water Table, two story earth climber and weather station, and 10 other hands-on spaces. There’s also a state-of-the-art maker space called Discovery Lab where guests can create, invent, and design.
Admission to Discovery Hall is included in a general admission to Sloan Museum of Discovery. General Admission tickets to Sloan Museum can be purchased at the button below, or read more about our ticketing and discounts here.
