Our exhibits were designed for ages 0-13, but we’ve found that most teenagers and adults have fun in the museum as well! The only exhibit with an age limit is the Circus Tots area, meant to be a safe space for play for infants and toddlers up to 4 years of age.
WHAT IS THE AGE LIMIT FOR THE MUSEUM?
WHAT IS THERE TO DO AT THE MUSEUM?
In addition to our new state-of-the-art exhibits for all ages, we are proud to offer daily programs Tuesday-Saturday. From quick science demonstrations to collaborative art projects, program content changes every day and is sure to spark creativity in your child.
WHAT IS THE ADMISSION PRICE? DO PARENTS HAVE TO PAY?
Admission is $10 per person, and visitors 18 months of age or younger are free. CDM is a place for family learning experiences, so parents and caregivers are expected to interact with the exhibits with their children. Anyone entering the facility will be charged for admission.

Keep the fun going all year long with a CDM membership! Find out about the different levels and perks here.
IS FOOD AVAILABLE AT THE MUSEUM? CAN I BRING OUTSIDE FOOD OR DRINKS?
While we offer a selection of snacks and drinks at Penni’s Cafe for children and adults, but none should be taken into the exhibit halls except bottled water.

Yes – the parking lot, welcome center, and both exhibit halls are accessible.
