The Discovery Museum Science & Space Center is a great educational museum that focuses on science, technology, engineering and math. Exhibits are mostly interactive, and kids get to do things like role-play NASA missions, go on psuedo-archaeology digs or build and program robots. There's also a planetarium, a nature discovery room and a series of rotating exhibits featuring bones, plants, rocks and space.

Though the whole family can have fun here this is really a museum that caters to school-aged kids who may already be learning about some of these topics in their classrooms.
