Discovery Park of America Offering Free Admission
UPDATED 1/23/24: Free admission extended through Saturday, February 10, 2024.
The Discovery Park of America is partnering with Magnolia Place Assisted Living and offering free admission for January 2024 to children 17 years of age and younger as the museum and heritage park kicks off the celebration of its eleventh birthday (Wow – can’t believe it!).
The museum and heritage park, located in Union City, Tennessee, “is an impressive, state-of-the-art 100,000-square-foot museum sitting on a beautifully landscaped heritage park.” Homeschool Roster regularly took field trips to Discovery Park of America when it first opened. It is amazing to see how much it has grown over the years in its educational offerings sparking creativity and a desire for exploration from all who visit. We are returning this month for a special field trip during this celebration month.
Discovery Park of America has already made several updates to existing exhibits like upgrading to “a state-of-the-art, laser-illuminated 3D projection system” in the Discovery Theater and updating the Water Tables in the Simmons Bank Children’s Exploration Gallery. Along with its already variety of ways to explore and learn, a temporary exhibit of the Outdoor Art of John Toras: man of Stainless Steel and the new permanent exhibit “Duck, Duck, Goose: Waterfowl of the Mississippi Flyway” will be experiences for visitors.
The park hours for January 2024 are the following:
January 2024
Tuesday through Saturday: 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Tuesday – Saturday
Sunday: 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.
