Discovery Center Springfield

This October, we’re celebrating 35 years of inspiring curiosity and a lifelong love of learning through memorable, engaging, hands-on experiences in STEM—science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

From our earliest programs, to expanding our building, to our award-winning COVID response, to opening a school, to creating some of the most engaging exhibits in the world, we’ve loved being part of your lives and your stories.

Now, we want to hear them.

Do you have a Discovery Center memory, connection, photo, story, or anniversary message to share? Help us celebrate 35 years by filling out this form—or by sharing it with someone you know who has a Discovery Center story to tell.
