Discovery Science Center, Science museum in Santa Ana, United States.

Discovery Cube Orange County, formerly the Discovery Science Center, is a science museum in Santa Ana designed by Arquitectonica with structural engineers Carl Johnson and Svend Nielsen. Its ten-story solar array cube rises above Interstate 5, and the 59,000-square-foot building holds more than 100 hands-on exhibits in themed areas such as Dino Quest, Rocket Lab and Science of Hockey.

The museum opened in 1998 in a former moving company facility. It formed through the merger of two learning centers that wanted to combine science education with hands-on experience.

The Science of Hockey exhibit connects physics principles with ice hockey through a partnership with the Anaheim Ducks professional team. Visitors can observe how scientific concepts apply directly to professional sports.

The museum sits beside Interstate 5 in Santa Ana, and its ten-story solar cube makes it easy to spot from the freeway. The 59,000-square-foot building holds themed areas such as Dino Quest, Rocket Lab and Quake Zone, so allow several hours to cover them. A 40,000-square-foot Discovery Pavilion opened in 2015, adding more space to the visit.

The Dino Quest exhibit features life-size dinosaur models combined with digital technology. Visitors can conduct excavations like real paleontologists using handheld tracking devices.
