OUR PHILOSOPHY
The Magic City Discovery Center engages children and families
in the magic of life-long learning through discovery, creativity, and play. Children's museums can best be described as engaging and interactive "playgrounds" with exhibits and programming that stimulate curiosity and motivate learning.
