Our 2.5 y/o loved this place! It was amazing compared to what we have where we're from (LA). In our area, the only children's museum (located in Pasadena, CA) is double the price of this place, way run down compared to this place, and not nearly as clean as this place. We went here a few weeks ago during our holiday visit to my sister's place. This place is enormous and you could literally spend hours here without your kids getting bored regardless of what they're into. My kid's fav was probably the ball area and the echoing room. I went in the tape slide thing with him to start and have a few warnings about that thing lol. The only way not to slide backwards walking up the enormous incline the tubes are on is to go barefoot and ... gross lol. If you have a little one like me, esp one who is overly cautious on this sort of stuff and won't do it alone, be aware that you'll both get run over in that thing by kids on their own running around. My son could barely get inside without getting knocked over. The slide itself is really steep and goes super fast, so I wouldn't have wanted him to go down it alone. Needless to say, we only climbed around in that tape thing once lol. The place is crazy clean for being a giant play structure. The bathrooms were clean, too. The temp outside that day was cold AF, and they kept in comfy inside so you weren't sweating to death in winter clothing running around. I don't know what I thought was the coolest as an adult because truly, this place has so much to offer. Probably the echo room was the most neat to me because it was super interactive AND required little parent participation haha. My mom is in a wheelchair and she was able to get around in there just fine and was able to be safe off to the side, but still get to see everything perfectly well, so I appreciated that aspect a lot. read more

I've been to a good share of children's museum and the one in Tulsa seemed fun so we decided to go and check it out. It's located right across from The Gathering Place so you could really have a full day here if you wanted. Parking was a bit rough if you come later rather than earlier but we managed to find a spot in the front. Admission was very reasonable and staff were nice. Upon entering, you are welcomed with a wide open space with plenty to do and many types of activities for all ages. It's a good museum for Tulsa but since I've been to many others, I don't know if it's worth it because the place seemed more for big kids 8+ because some of the things the kids weren't able to do cause they couldn't climb over the barrels or knitted landings. There wasn't much seating either in all areas so the parents had to stand. The space although looks big is limited in physical activities and we were there not even two hours and we were done. It's good for Tulsa but it's a one and done for me. It's worth checking out if you've never been. read more

Lots of activities for little kids! We took our kiddos (6 & 11 yo) to check this place out today & they had a great time learning, playing & running around! Be ready for lots of kids & the struggle of wrangling your own LOL. There's also a gift shop & a cafe around the corner than we didn't have a chance to scope out but it was a fun time! Our oldest probably wouldn't want to go back but the younger will likely enjoy another trip or two! The young kids really seemed to enjoy themselves here! read more

My kiddos love coming here!! They have recently updated the corner room and it's now a bmx bike so you can learn and race a non moving bike ! This place is always a great hit with the kids and come home tired! The tape tunnel I think is the coolest thing there , my kids will spend the whole day in there climbing around ! read more

We came for the "after hours" grown up party play night and we had so much fun. Between the music, the drinks, and all the science, our inner geeks were on fleek. really hoping that they do these events more often. read more

What a time we had discovering at the Discovery Lab The kid in me loved it but my nephews (the real kids) enjoyed it. I had to peel them away (funny because of the tunnel - read on). On a hot summer day, we decided to visit the Gathering Place. To cool off, we ran to Discovery Lab and I couldn't get them back outside after entering. This place is soooo cool, but I was impressed by the tunnel that ended in a slide (all created using packing tape - TAPE). I am not sure how many children or adult children (including me) have passed through BUT it is holding up well. Explore water at the hydro lab, build your own parachute, compose math through music at math+music, design an image at the waterfall...WoWzers! If that isn't enough - there is a little lab for the younger crew (4 & under) and a healthy cafe that has pizza!!! read more

We've come a couple times now, and my daughter loves it every time. She calls it the 'Ada Twist Scientist Club'. Not only does she love it, but we are adults also love it. Not a lot of places do a good job of creating a space where everyone from a toddler up through adults can enjoy their time, but Discovery Lab accomplishes just that. We've come with just a group of toddlers before and we also recently came with a small group of toddlers and lots of adults. Everybody was having a good time, and other than a few of the adults, I don't think anybody felt like the kids or the adults were conflicting with their experience. I like how open it is here-it makes it pretty easy to find your child if they wander off. While my child loves all the balls, water activities and the slide made of duct tape, her favorite space to explore are the little labs across from the main play area. She's very hands on and enjoys the attention of doing an experiment with someone. We will likely buy a membership this year because it's a great value if you feel like you'll come more than a couple of times, which I see is doing now that my daughter is a little older and she can come with one of us after school for a couple hours here and there. read more

I've been wanting to check it out ever since they opened their new facility by the Gathering Place back in February. The previous Children's Museum by Owen Park is no longer in operation. I hadn't been able to though, because they have a policy that adults must be accompanied by a kid, which seems to be a safety/preventive measure. The Tulsa STEM Regional Alliance had a special community night event to celebrate Siegfried Space Week so I finally got my chance. First off, the location could not be better, with so many families being able to enjoy as they have a fun outing at the park. There's a small parking lot adjacent to the building. There's an outdoor amphitheater and a cute cafe called Bean Sprouts. As soon as you enter, you know you're in a special space, specifically curated for exploration. You are greeted by the huge tape tunnel/slide which is a hit with kids and adults alike. There are cubbies where you can put your shoes when you're on there. They have various exhibit areas, each focused on different aspects of science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM). All spaces and activities are hands-on, sparking creativity, innovation, critical thinking and problem solving. It is truly an interactive experience, with many activities requiring collaboration. There's a HydroLab where kids can write their name in a water wall, launch rockets, and build up pressure in the water target gallery. There's a math and music section where kids can compose their own song. There's an energy section where kids can race a solar roller coaster and see how much power they can generate from a wind turbine. There's a Ballapalooza area where kids can move/throw balls all over the place. There's a geology section where kids learn about earthquakes and an electricity area with a plasma globe. Finally, they also have areas where staff lead kids in activities, one is specifically for kids 4 and under. Totally blown away by this. It's a must for families! read more

We enjoy this place. However, they have school field trips all the time and the place isn't big enough to be at 85% capacity with a school field trip and other visitors have room to play without getting ran over by the school kids. I wish they didn't have field trips 4/5 days a week. Make sure to check their FB before going to see if there's a field trip there before paying. read more

Always a good time and my kid loves it. Been a couple of times for field trips and once for an event. The upstairs event space is beautiful.

Was a fun experience glad I got to try this, definitely great place for stay at home mums because you have gathering place next door once done here, lots of interactive exhibits my favorite was the ball shooters all of the staff was friendly and courteous. Lots of fun things for kiddos to do and learn in the process. read more

Mikayla was fantastic for our birthday party! Everything was amazing, planning and check in was extremely smooth and it's super hard to keep a group of 3 year olds attention, and she did amazing. We loved the experience and loved having a party here, and will definitely be back!! read more

This was the second time here with my 8 year old and friend. This place is no longer a secret! It was packed full of kids of all ages and day camps. My introverted self had a little anxiety upon walking in, but the boys did not at all seem bothered. I was impressed that the noise level was not unbearable with all of the people. Also, there are so many areas and activities to explore and learn! They found some things they did not see last time and enjoyed revisiting other activities. It was a great time. read more

Great news La e for children of all ages to play and learn at the same time. Always something new to learn and create. The cost of a yearly membership is very reasonable. Great for after school energy release. Staff is so kid friendly. My grandchildren love it and I it never gets old read more

More Science than Fun, or more Fun than Science - you decide, but it is for certain/sure Fun Science. Chip Lindsey & Rayla worked their liquid nitrogen magic to a smiling & spell bound audience & answered all questions fully & carefully & laced with good humor during our visit today. Chip is the Director of Education & his influence is sure to be felt through his subordinate Instructors when your child attends one of the many Science courses offered this summer @ Discovery Lab. I strongly recommend one or more of his Instructors' offerings to kindle & enhance your child's Science learning. I only wish I'd had a similar opportunity during my own formative years on which to build a foundation for Science learning. Chip is a hands-on guy, & if you don't see him, ask for him. read more

Place is great for the younger crowd. If your kids are 10 and younger this is definitely perfect to get them out of the house for a couple hours. Not a bad price except they make parents pay as well which is a bit ridiculous but it's not too bad a price I suppose read more

So much fun for kids! Great for a hot summer afternoon when it's too warm to spend the day at The Gathering Place. The kids learned a lot and had fun. read more

A great little stop for kids! I feel like we got a good deal of play in for our admission price. You can make it through everything in 2-3 hours, or you could easily stretch it out longer. My 4 year old loved it! There was a lot of seating for adults and exhibits that we don't see often at some of the bigger kid museums. Would definitely recommend! Also really appreciated the teacher discount! read more

This place is ideal for younger kids! They have lots of things to do that interest kids of all ages: toddler area, a water room, music room, ball room, climbing, slides, and an amazing tape tunnel and tape tunnel slide that you go pretty fast on. My daughter enjoys this place and I will definitely continue to go there. read more

I'm form California visiting my sister and she took me to Discovery Lab so both our kids can play and have fun. This place is amazing, and I would like to recognize an employee who really stood out Jada S. In my 2.5 hour's here not only did I watch her provide cleaning (a big task for the many little hand and feet running around) but I also observed Jada interact with guest and children. Thank you! read more

My family and I have been wanting to go to this place since I heard about it 2 years ago. This place did not disappoint. Discovery labs is an amazing experience. It is a science center full of so much stuff to do. It is great for the kids but also the adults as well. It is full of fun but at the same time the children are learning. When you first walk in you are amazed by the amazing Tape tube/slide. That was our favorite part to be completely honest. Then there was this awesome waterfall where you could type something into it, and it spelt it out in the waterfall. There is water bottle rockets, parachutes, and you can spray water at gadgets and get them to spend. There are so many areas you can explore. There is an electricity area, rock area, building area, construction area and so many more. My kids favorite there was the big ball pit. You have vacuums and you can vacuum up the balls and shoot balls over the area. In this place children can run free and just enjoy themselves. There is so much to do, you and your children could spend an entire day there. There is also a restaurant with delicious food there and a shop with awesome crafts and experiments you can take home. It is worth the drive and the money. I will tell everyone about this place! read more
