Museum of Northern Arizona launches new 'Discovery' activities for kids

MNAZ's new Discovery Room

The Museum of Northern Arizona has a new fun room for children to get some hands on experience at the museum. The Discovery Room's current theme explores dinosaur life and their evolution through games, puzzles, books, a puppet show, and images to color. The room has kid-sized tables and chairs and encourages children to be a part of the museum. Head to the dinosaur exhibit section of the museum, then to this room with your kids for the most impact!

And, starting March 1, children 4–8, older siblings, and families will share a new hands-on, kid-friendly way to explore the Museum’s nine exhibit galleries. Backpackers will be encouraged to look closely at objects with magnifying glasses, share their own knowledge from travels throughout the region, play games, solve puzzles, learn about new people and places, and complete activities together as a group. Discovery Backpacks will be free for paid visitors to check out from MNA’s Front Desk, so be sure to ask!

The Museum is located three miles north of historic downtown Flagstaff on scenic Highway 180. Admission is $7 adults, $6 seniors (65+), $5 students, and $4 children (7–17).
