Temporary Center Closure

The safety and well-being of our visitors, volunteers, and staff is always our highest priority. In accordance with the new “Safer at Home” restrictions, The Discovery Center is temporarily closed to the public.

We will continue to monitor the City of Philadelphia’s health and safety guidelines closely and will provide updates about The Discovery Center’s plans to reopen on our website and Facebook page. Please check back regularly for new updates.

Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to seeing you at The Discovery Center in the new year!
