This indoor area is the perfect place for guests through the age of nine. Here you can create, climb, explore, play, and pretend! Children develop their critical thinking skills and have big-time fun at the same time. There's even a special area for infants. Whether climbing the forest-themed play area, dressing up like a favorite critter, or building a puzzle, this is the perfect place for families, all year long.

We love seeing photos from our guests! Add yours here. #discoverCP

YOU CAN MAKE A BIG IMPACT
ON OUR LITTLEST GUESTS!

Little ones love all the activities at Discovery Station, where they can run and play and build things just to knock them down. All that knocking requires some upkeep! We love to constantly give our little visitors new things to discover, and that requires the generosity of donors like you. In this area, we use donations to create and maintain a world of immersive wonder.
