Read more about this location
Churchill County Museum Discovery Room is the museum’s hands-on family zone, with more than a dozen changing and long-term ways for kids to play and explore. It works well as a lower-key indoor outing for toddlers through elementary-age kids, especially when families want tactile stations and museum-style discovery instead of a giant climber setup. General museum admission is donation-based, parking is free, and the museum also offers seasonal crafts, exhibits, and family programming throughout the year.
