The Creative Discovery Museum is a children's museum located in downtown Chattanooga, Tennessee. It was opened on May 26, 1995.[1] The museum contains art, music, and field science areas, along with a water-themed zone called RiverPlay, a rooftop exhibit, an inventor's workshop, and a temporary exhibit space. Exhibits are mostly designed for children aged 18 months to 12 years.
The Creative Discovery Museum offers multiple programs including school tours, birthday parties, lock-ins, and outreach programs to Chattanooga-area schools and education centers. Guided lessons are sometimes available in the art, kitchen, and science areas as well as story time; the lesson topics change almost monthly. Tours are available for larger parties including school groups and visiting day camps. Birthday parties can be scheduled and are a hit among younger children. Lock-ins provide free time for play in the museum, scheduled time in the gift shop, dinner (usually pizza), snacks, and a lesson.
