Located in a 1915 schoolhouse, under the large live oaks, just blocks from the beach in Gulfport, MS, Lynn Meadows Discovery Center is a special place for children and their grown-ups. Inside, 15,000 square feet of hands-on exhibits encourage fun, learning and creativity. Discover different cultures at Celebrate the World We Share, board the train at Dolan Avenue Depot, and create a mini masterpiece at our art studio, Art Knows Anything Goes. Outside, oak-covered acres provide more space to let the imagination run wild. Play house in the trees, tap a tune in the outdoor musical garden, and explore the tiny town of Kids Street. Lynn Meadows Discovery Center is honored to be a recipient of the National Medal for Museum and Library Services, which recognizes exceptional contributions to the community.
Kids hold the key to having fun and learning about history at this 1890’s Mississippi City hotel.
Spanning the height of the museum, the Super Colossal Climbing Structures simulates the sea and lets children reach for the stars.
Lynn Meadows Discovery Center is dedicated to inspiring children, families and communities through the arts, interactive educational experiences and exploration.
Play house in the tops of 100-year-old trees. Tree House Village was created for habitation, and imagination!
All aboard the Dolan Avenue Express. Costumes and props take kids back to a time when trains were a popular form of transportation.
Stop by to get your pet checked or play the role of a caring vet. The Little Pet Vet gives kids the opportunity to see what takes place when they take their pet to the doctor
