About the Venue

My World Discovery Museum is a nonprofit children's museum inside the Museum of Clean campus in Pocatello. Families will find open-ended exhibits focused on building, pretend play, STEM exploration, and creative problem-solving rather than a bounce-house format. The museum is best for toddlers through about age 12, with caregiver supervision required and same-day reentry allowed. It is a strong fit for families who want a thoughtful indoor play visit that can be energetic without feeling like a full-scale arcade.
