About the Venue

Creations Discovery Museum and Art Studio is a nonprofit family destination in downtown Sandpoint on the Cedar Street Bridge. The indoor Discovery Play Area includes features such as a restored wooden sailboat, an indoor treehouse, interactive wall elements, and hands-on STEAM activities, while the adjacent art studio adds low-cost creative drop-in time. It is a more exploratory, museum-style visit than a traditional indoor playground, and that is exactly what makes it stand out.
