We were vacationing and found this amazing place when googling things to do. Upon arrival the fire alarm went off so we had to exit the building but the staff handled everything swiftly and professionally and we were back in the building within a few minutes. It was a fun place for my three year old to run around and explore! I gave 4 stars because it is a-bit small but definitely packed with educational things and fun! We will definitely be back when going to NH again!

Less of a museum and more an indoor play area with different themed areas. Only suitable for small children, tweens and above will be bored.

This is an interesting, out of the way house museum. We didn't know what to expect going here but…read morewow there's a lot of fascinating history to hear about. Later on we heard some locals talking about the special events they hold around the holidays. It's worth checking out if you're in Keene and looking for something unique to do.

More than 5 years at Keene State College, and well over a thousand neglectful walks past this old…read moregem, and I never even stopped to think about what could be inside. We rang the bell, and shortly thereafter a thin older lady in a bohemian top and long flowing skirt answered the door. She brought us in, and requested we deposit our coffees on the floor by the front door (although she kept her coffee mug in hand throughout the entire museum). Room after room, she led us through the story of the Colony family, and the generations of community influence that have come through the house's front door. The rooms held cross-generational antiques and oddities, from normal fixtures like rugs and dishes, to an overwhelming collection doorstops, representations of foreign dieties, and thousands of small animal statuettes. Here are some of the top facts that I learned at the Horatio Colony Museum: 1. Canopy beds were created to contain heat in the winter in bedrooms without fireplaces 2. Graphophones not only played cylindrical wax "disks," but one can also record his/her own music on some blank wax 3. The "bun" hairstyle of old Victorian England was inspired by the traditional hairstyle of Japanese Geishas 4. The entire faces of some paintings can follow you around a room. There's more, but this review would take forever. The tour is free... it's a half hour... and it's pretty neat... so check it out.

I don't have kids but I went with my mom, sister and nephew. It was so cool to see what kinds of…read morebusinesses and opportunities there are for kids to receive enrichment beyond the home & classroom (e.g. daycare). It sounds like this is a popular place in the winter given its wide range of indoor activities. It's organized very well and provides different types of stimuli for children to choose from. The staff inside support and encourage parents & guardians to utilize the Discovery Museum's facilities to the best their kids are able to. The outdoor areas & trails seemed fun, as well as the giant chair and swing set.

The Discovery Museum is a hands-on museum for families that opened in Acton, Massachusetts in 1982…read more It was founded by math teacher and naturalist Donald B. Verger. The museum blends science, natural and play. A second museum building opened in 1987. After an $8.8M expansion and renovation, the museum reopened as a single-building museum in March 2018. A 550 -square-foot tree house and accessible nature playscape were also added to the campus in July 2016. The current museum now has twice the exhibit space of the original museum and includes significant galleries for STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) experiences including water, air, tinkering, design, engineering, early brain development, math, light and color, and sound. My family and I recently visited the Discovery Museum while we were visiting the area. We visited a local brewery for lunch and my wife and I were interested to see if there was a place nearby that we could take our sons. The museum came highly recommended. We're glad that we heard about it because we all had a blast. The whole campus was beautiful! There are a variety of different interactive exhibits devoted to topics such as math, airplay, water, music & sound, illusions, simple machines, light & color, and Leonardo da Vinci. My sons never wanted to leave. After exploring the museum, we all headed outside to explore the Discovery Woods. My sons really liked checking out the tree house, the nature playscape, Adventure Hill, the slap-a-phone, the outdoor da Vinci exhibits, and Bessie the Dinosaur. Overall we had an excellent experience at the Discovery Museum and we highly recommend it to families who are visiting the area!
