5.0Explore More Discovery Museum(123 reviews) - Visit with the grandkids! Thursday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent 2-3 hours Speciality Museums • Children's Museums
We had a great time at the museum! My triplet grandchildren are 7. We were visiting Massanutten Resort and decided to take the drive. I was a bit concerned about the area after what I had seen on the television and the racial tensions that are well documented.....BUT what a lovely section of the city we experienced. The people we encountered were very friendly, warm and inviting. The hands on activities were awesome! The kids were able to touch EVERYTHING! When you are 7 and curious, what a treat!!See more..
4.0Virginia Discovery Museum(85 reviews) - Great Place for a Rainy Day Thursday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Children's Museums
We came here with our Son in Law and four grandchildren ages 3 to 9. They all had a wonderful time. There are lots of hands on activities to keep everyone busy. There’s a bank, a medical center (complete with scrubs and white jackets) a fancy kitchen, and music center, just to name a few. It kept our busy group occupied for over an hour. There’s also plenty of seating for us ”older kids”. If you have young children and are in area, don’t miss it.See more..
