This area has a large variety of hands-on science stations, where kids can learn about a particular area of science through interactive observation and play. The main science area in the Discovery Place Museum is large and typically attracts a majority of the guests. This is also a touch tank just outside of the aquarium area. The indoor aquarium has sea horse, fish, sharks, jelly fish and other types of unique creatures.
The best time to visit the aquarium is during feeding time, where the aquatic life is very active. The indoor aquarium was not as large as a full-size aquarium that may cost over $20 individually for admission, but it was plenty large enough to view and learn about marine life up-close. The aquarium is located in the Worlds Alive section of the museum. We were impressed that the Discovery Place science museum had a little of everything including an indoor aquarium.
