Discovery Place Kids–Huntersville

A hands-on children’s museum in downtown Huntersville.

What it is

Play-based exhibits for young children—useful on a rainy morning or when hosting visiting family with little ones.

Before you go

  • Opening days, timed entry and admission are set by the museum; check before visiting.

Planning your visit

Admission or registration is required. The operator sets prices, discounts, timed entry and closure dates, and these change; check the operator’s own information before you go rather than relying on any figure you have seen elsewhere.

We have not independently verified accessibility features such as step-free routes, accessible restrooms or parking unless they are listed under confirmed features. Contact the operator for specifics before your visit.

Research lead: we have not yet confirmed this profile against an official source, so it is excluded from planner suggestions. If you know current details, tell us.

Planning a family outing

Family destinations in Huntersville cluster in two places: downtown, home to Discovery Place Kids, and Sample Road in Latta Nature Preserve, where Quest and the Carolina Raptor Center sit close together.

Admission, timed entry and daily programs are set by each operator. Check before you go, and pair a stop with a nearby park or lunch to make a half day of it.

Getting there and around

Historic downtown centers on Huntersville-Concord Road and Main Street, with Veterans Park at 201 Huntersville-Concord Road serving as the Town’s main event lawn. Distances are short, but check sidewalks and crossings before planning a walking route between stops.
