Discovery Gateway, Children's museum in Salt Lake City, United States.

Discovery Gateway is a children's museum in Salt Lake City featuring interactive displays across science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics education. The various exhibit zones spread throughout a large building in the Gateway district and allow children to learn through hands-on experiences.

The Children's Museum of Utah was founded in 1978 and opened in 1983 in the former Wasatch Warm Springs building north of downtown, starting with eight exhibits. By 1998 it had 140 permanent exhibits and had outgrown its space. Salt Lake County voters approved a bond in 2002, ground was broken on 22 September 2005, and the museum opened as Discovery Gateway on 16 September 2006 at The Gateway.

The Story Factory and Studio areas combine creative learning where children make comics, perform, and conduct experiments as part of daily activities. Visitors can watch how play and hands-on work shape how young people engage with ideas.

The museum sits in downtown Salt Lake City and is easy to reach on foot from nearby areas. Plan to spend several hours here to explore all the zones, as the building has activities suited to different ages.

The museum began in 1983 with just eight exhibits, among them a Western Airlines 737 cockpit, an artificial heart demonstration, a dry-ice frozen bubble box and a KSL news station for children. It grew to 140 permanent exhibits by 1998.
