About the Venue

Discovery Christian Church offers a free indoor playground inside its Discovery building in Mars, giving families a weatherproof option for basic active play without an admission fee. The play area is geared toward kids through about elementary age, and adults can watch from the adjacent lobby with coffee or step inside the play area. Because the building also hosts events, it is smart to check the calendar before heading out.
