Our Mission
The Children's Discovery Museum will provide a fun and safe environment to encourage kids and families to learn, engage, and have imaginative and interactive play together.

Get to Know Us
The Children’s Discovery Museum was established in 2016 as a pop-up museum, which led us to our first location at the Three Rivers Mall. We moved to our second location on Commerce Ave. in 2019. We are now located in the Historic Catlin Elementary School in partnership with the Kelso School District. We have been blessed with a larger space to expand our hands-on and interactive exhibits.
The Children's Discovery Museum is a child-friendly space located in Cowlitz County, where children and their families can engage in imaginative, interactive, and hands-on learning experiences in the arts, science, and social play. Our exhibits include the nature niche (microscopes, bugs, and other cool science stuff), a farm to market equipped with fruits, veggies, a cafe to "cook" in, and a dining area for serving up whatever their imagination has created! We have giant building logs, a doctor and dental office, dress-up, our famous ping-pong shower, and much more! The Children's Discovery Museum is a gift to our community, and admission is FREE for EVERYONE to enjoy.
