Description
Did you know that Detroit is home to the third oldest children's museum in the country? That it houses more than 100,000 artifacts? And that it's now part of the Detroit Science Center? Formerly operated by Detroit Public Schools, and closed for a time while being renovated, the Detroit Children's Museum is one of Detroit's cultural gems. Visitors to the Children's Museum will enjoy regular planetarium demonstrations, the People of the World exhibits, a Travel Through History Gallery, Tiny Tikes Preschool Gallery and the Hoofbeat Demonstration area, named for the Silverbolt horse sculpture that stands in front of the museum.
