Discovery Creek Children’s Museum of Washington is committed to helping all children experience, appreciate, and become stewards of the rich history of the nation’s capital. Discovery Creek offers programming and outdoor nature experiences to families, school groups, and teachers. Nature, history, and the arts come to life as children see live wildlife up close, create innovative art projects and explore local Washington DC national parks. The museum, a private nonprofit organization, opened in 1994 and is supported by private foundation grants, corporate and individual support, membership, program fees, and special events.
