USS Discovery

Let Your Imagination Liftoff

About the exhibit

All aboard the USS Discovery — a high-seas adventure where science meets silliness and safety comes first!

As you captain your vessel, keep your eyes on the skies: coastal and pelagic birds are flying overhead, and let's just say… you might want to watch out for splerd, splat, and splood! Along the way, children can learn about different bird species, their diets, altitudes of flight, and relative sizes, all while navigating their own imaginary voyage.

Don't forget to strap on your life jacket and follow onboard safety rules; every good explorer knows that smart sailing starts with being prepared.

With laughs, learning, and a little bit of mess, the USS Discovery invites kids to explore the intersection of nature, navigation, and nautical fun.

Ages
4-12

Perfect For
