Did you know Discovery Cove is play-based? 🐠

We’re not a museum where kids just look at things behind glass. Our exhibits are designed for kids to touch, climb, create, pretend, explore and PLAY.

Come spend an hour (or two!) letting the kids burn some energy while they learn through play. 💙

We’re your local indoor play + discovery space!

We are now open at 8am on Wednesday and Thursday! Open Play Hours8am-2pm$10 per child; first adult is free.

Would you be interested in drop-in childcare at Manistee Discovery Cove?

We’re exploring the possibility of offering drop-in childcare for up to 3 hours at a time during regular museum hours!

Before we take on the lengthy licensing process and make the necessary arrangements, we want to know if this is something our community would actually use.
