Lakefront museum & aquarium showcasing innovation and technology
Great place for the kids! Lots of hands on activities and interactive displays on science and marine life. Beautiful top floor dining with spectacular views of Lake Michigan. Right in downtown, close walking distance to the Art museum, shopping and dining.
Very cool place. Expensive, but a lot to do and see - could spend a whole day here. We came with a 16 and 14-year-old and had a good time with alll the leaning and experiments. Mostly came for the aqaurium which did not disappint.
A good half day's worth of exploration! Don't try to rush your visit, you will want to spend a lot of time here. Great for under 5 years old, but even better for 5-10 year olds! Heck, it was really cool as an adult too.
I went on a field trip to the Discovery World with our school, and it was truly such a great experience! Be prepared for lots of walking, the place is huge. It would be helpful if they offered small maps for first-time visitors because it can feel a little confusing to navigate at first. That said, the aquarium was very cool! I absolutely loved how interactive each section and activity was. It’s definitely worth the price point. The kids had an amazing time in every area. Even though we went on a busy day, there was more than enough space for everyone to feel comfortable and really enjoy each exhibit. It encourages creativity and hands-on learning, which I appreciated so much. It’s truly a must-visit. And I have to compliment the location, the aesthetic is phenomenal. The Lake Michigan views from the building are beautiful! We took a bus, so I’m not sure about parking, but going with the school made everything easy, organized, and very welcoming. I definitely plan to visit again soon with my family.
It's a very cool interactive museum! its focused around Milwaukee/Wisconsin/the midwest aquatics and weather But they're so much to do here! Personally the aquarium side is my favorite, some of the cutest/coolest animals and it seems like they take good care of them! It has a little bit of everything and Their reef tank is getting a upgrade. The science section is also very interesting but a little more based for younger ages. It's nice they also provide free things like some of the science machines build things they allow you to keep for free, free experiences like a VR and a driving simulator along with many spots for free coloring pages! Many places where you can simulate experiences, learn, see things from different views here so its great so all ages and people! its a great date spot aswell. Its a unique building as it sits on the lake, next to summerfest, lakeshore state park & the Milwaukee art museum all in walking distance! Bathrooms, food court, gift shop and more! We went on Martin Luther Kind Day and it was a little crowded but Definitely still walkable and didn't miss out on experiences!
