Mid-Hudson Children's Museum, Children's museum on the waterfront in Poughkeepsie, United States.
The Mid-Hudson Discovery Museum contains five main sections with interactive exhibits focused on science, art, and physical activities for children up to age 12.
Founded in 1989, the museum operated in various locations before settling in a former 19th-century industrial brick building on North Water Street in 2002.
The museum provides educational programs, including field trips for PreK to grade 5 students, enhancing critical thinking through hands-on experimentation and discovery.
The facility charges $14.50 for general admission, offers free entry for children under one year, and provides discounts for military personnel and EBT cardholders.
The museum operates a seasonal Poughkeepsie Waterfront Market from May to October, supplying fresh produce to local families in the Hudson Valley region.
