Editor's Take

About the Venue

Discovery Place Interactive Museum is a hands-on children's museum in downtown Texarkana with exhibit-driven play rather than a traditional soft-play setup. Families can expect interactive science and learning stations, imaginative-play elements, and special programs that make it a strong indoor option for curious kids who like to explore, touch, and experiment.
