Creative Discovery Museum hosts a sensory night each month that is such a wonderful experience! Thank you for providing this for our community. We appreciate it!

The place was incredibly busy on a rainy Saturday and some of the attractions were closed due to the weather. The space is huge and there was an area for every kid no matter what their interests are. The location has several bilingual areas featuring both English and Spanish so kids who speak those languages can participate. I only included photos without children in them for privacy reasons, but the museum has a large area for children 5 and under, a dinosaur area and water play zone as you walk in. Parking is a bit of a hassle. We ended up in a parking garage a block over and had to go back for our parking ticket that we left in our vehicle with tired kids.

Tuesday visit, so not crowded. Very clean with sanitizing stations posted throughout (with sanitizer inside!). Lots of staff helping kiddos and keeping eyes open. Lots to explore...we stayed for 6 hrs because the kiddos loved it so much and still didn't want to leave at closing time. One time, I was clearly looking for one of my kiddos and a staff member noticed and came to assist right away. This was the highlight (for our kids 8 yo and 5yo) of our visit to Chattanooga. Water play, "sand" play, pretend Plat, outdoor play, space play art and music play. So many things! We would buy a membership if we were local!

Went to a birthday party there it was great took about 4 hours to go through the whole thing. And if you get food stamp it only $3 for the whole day and $49 a month for the member ship.

Lovely place to visit, holds a special place in my heart. Highly recommend visiting together as a family :) so much to do and experience at the museum. They also have headphones for folks with sensory issues. From art classes, to light cooking classes, sewing, and even science experiments- there's much to look into! I recommend looking at their website for more info and times for classes! If you have young toddlers, just be careful in the sand, many kiddos love to throw the sand lol! CSM also has a small cafe with drinks and snacks to hold you and your family over. Overall, a wonderful experience each time we visit!

I really wanted to like this place, from the outside this place looked like an awesome place to take the kids. While the kids had fun, even with taking their time, we saw all there was to see in only about 2 hours. Alot of exhibits had issues and were not working properly, and it's very small which makes it feel cramped quite often. For what it is, it's neat if you have never been to a children's museum, but I've been to several and many are alot bigger and nicer for the same price point.

Such amazing place for kids! So much to do, from climbing to all sorts of hands-on learning. Very educational, yet also very fun! Our 9-year-old goddaughter loved it & we loved sharing such a great adventure with her. We were told by a representative to allow 1.5 to 2 hours; but, we were there about 3.5 hours & she was no where near ready to leave. My only issue was that some of the things she tried to do/use weren't functioning properly or weren't working at all. So, that was disappointing.

I have been bringing my kids here since they were little. Would drive all the way from Florida. Now we only live a few hours away. The oldest is now 22 and he went with me to take the youngest who just turned 10. He still had a blast. I love they have food and snacks too. My boys get hungry fast. It's several stories of fun. Best children's museum we have visited.

My niece had her 8th birthday party at the Discovery Museum. The staff were very sweet, but we only had 1 hour in the room which was not adequate. However, the museum itself is outstanding! If I was 8 years old I would never have wanted to leave. Their activities are amazing, keeping kids creative all day! I highly recommend bringing children here to expand their minds.

The museum had some great things for children and babies with visual impairments, including Braille on signage! Very much appreciated.

I’d like to start this off by saying I never leave reviews, but for this I had too. I used to come to CDM as a little girl over 20 years ago and always loved it.Backstory: I recently moved back to the area and my son started at a local catholic school in kindergarten. Him and I have had a hard time making friends being newcomers there and non-catholic. Even joining a rec baseball team in hopes of connecting.Today was my son’s 6th birthday party at CDM. The party comes with all-day admissions for 30 guests, cupcakes, ice cream, drinks, and the party room for an hour. We sent out invitations over a month and a half in advanced and received a few RSVPs. We arrived a bit early to get some extra play time in, before an announcement came across for us to head to the party room. I had suspicions, but hoped they were wrong.. not a single one of his classmates or teammates from his baseball team came. Because I was worried upon arrival, I had already let a staff member know. When I tell you this staff is the most kind hearted and caring staff EVER. As soon as the party hosting employee noticed no one was coming, she jumped into action over her walkie talkie. Like magic, a somber and quiet room was filled with life and activities. ALL the staff came in, brought a few other kids, played, sang. They even went the extra mile and bought my son items out of the gift shop so he would have presents to open. We all had cupcakes and wore the crowns we made! These people turned a very sad and disappointing situation into so much fun. This staff truly cares about the children here. There’s no way I could ever repay them for their kindness today.We have an annual membership and will be coming back every chance we get.

The best hands on kids museums we have visited. Big, with a lot of rooms, and activities in each room- farm, winter, dinosaur dig, water. Stem activities upstairs and even more rooms of music, theatre, bees, an outdoor playground, art, so much variety for them to do! My child (5yrs) could have easily stayed for 4+ hours. We will definitely come back when visiting the city again.
