The Creative Discovery Museum has opened the last permanent internal exhibit as part of the Ignite Discovery capital campaign — which has raised $12.5 million for the comprehensive renovation of the museum.
Introducing, “UnEarthed, ” a natural science exhibit aimed at “building environmental literary and cultivating respect for the natural world through observation, exploration, and investigation.”
Exhibit highlights
- “The Dino Dig” | Uncover buried fossils
- Shake and wind table | Build structures + test its strength in strong wind simulations
- Augmented reality sandbox | Create mountains and valleys in sand + see how water moves through them
- Multi-sensory walk | Journey through the interior of a volcano
- Augmented reality arthropod encounter | See how you can virtually hold arthropods
- Insect Construction Station | Learn about insects + build 3D replicas

Bonus: The museum has plans to add an outdoor area to this exhibit — featuring a mud kitchen + additional opportunities for nature play — later this year.
