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

The Discovery Science Center is a science museum in Santa Ana housed in a ten-story solar cube building that contains more than 100 interactive exhibits. These focus on technology, engineering, mathematics, and natural sciences.

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 center is easy to reach by car and offers on-site parking for guests. It is wise to plan for several hours to explore the different areas and exhibits.

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