Lynn Meadows Discovery Center, Children's museum in Gulfport, United States.
Lynn Meadows Discovery Center is a children's museum with 15,000 square feet of indoor exhibit space and seven acres of outdoor play areas. The facility features multiple themed zones with interactive climbing structures and shaded play spaces beneath large oak trees.
The museum opened in 1998 as Mississippi's first children's museum and was named after a child significant to its founders. This establishment brought a new type of hands-on learning space to the region.
The center hosts theater productions and workshops where children develop artistic skills through hands-on creative activities. These programs give young visitors chances to perform and discover their own talents in front of others.
The museum provides multiple event spaces and regularly offers cooking classes in a dedicated kitchen area. Visitors should plan time to explore both indoor exhibits and outdoor zones, wearing comfortable shoes for the various terrain.
One standout feature is the Super Colossal Climbing Structure, a massive play element that draws children to explore its multiple levels and angles. The themed areas like Bear Camp Bayou and a replica train depot add layers of discovery that keep visitors engaged throughout their visit.
