The Garden State Discovery Museum is one of New Jersey’s most popular cultural attractions and South Jersey’s largest children’s museum! Since opening in 1994, the Garden State Discovery Museum has continually provided unique experiences where adults and children interact and learn together, while exploring high quality, kid-powered hands-on exhibits. The Garden State Discovery Museum provides multifaceted learning opportunities for infants, children to ten years of age, and their favorite caregivers. Whether they are building and remodeling the two-story house in Under Construction or caring for pets in Vet and Pet, they are building self-esteem, self-confidence, compassion and are learning to work cooperatively. The Garden State Discovery Museum offers educational entertainment at its hands-on best. It is a children’s museum filled with hours of imaginative fun and countless experiences.
