New Discovery Lab Children's Museum Opens Its Doors To The Public

It’s an exciting day in Tulsa. The new Discovery Lab children's museum will open to the public on Monday.

Discovery Lab said it will offer an environment where fun and education meet hands-on.

The new 57,000 square-foot museum will include 20,000 square feet of interactive exhibits and programming space. Children will be able to explore exhibits such as the HydroLab, Math + Music, Energy, Ballapalooza, the Imaginarium and the “Taj Mahal” of tape tunnels. Included are the high facilitation areas: The WorkShop, Science Lab and Little Lab, for little learners.

Multidisciplinary experiences and exhibits are designed to encourage process skill development and support current classroom curricula with Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEAM) content.

Other amenities at the new site will include a STEAM Education Center, Gizmo’s Museum Shop, Bean Sprouts Café, an outdoor amphitheater and designated on-site parking.

The new STEAM Education Center within the museum is comprised of five 900 square-foot classrooms and will serve as the STEAM Center for all of Tulsa Public Schools (prekindergarten through 6th grade). The STEAM Education Center will also have the capacity to serve all other regional districts for field trips and museum classes.

The Discovery Lab will also have several spaces available to reserve for birthday parties, classes, field trips, and any other events.

There will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 9 a.m. on Monday morning.

The Discovery Lab is located at 3123 South Riverside Drive, Tulsa, OK 74105.
