Children's Museum of Discovery operates as a hands-on educational venue for children aged 0 to 10, offering interactive exhibits and programs across science, technology, reading, engineering, art, and math. The museum aims to spark a love of learning by fostering curiosity, confidence, and creativity through play in a safe environment that encourages creative problem-solving and exploration. It serves families throughout San Diego County and neighboring regions, including portions of Imperial, Riverside, and Orange Counties. The exhibits and programs are developed with input from museum professionals and childhood development specialists and are aligned with California's Common Core standards for science, math, English language arts, arts, and social studies. Founded in 1999 and based in Escondido in San Diego County, the organization operates in the Museums, Historical Sites, and Zoos sector and is described as North San Diego County's only facility offering interactive, hands-on learning experiences for young children. In September 2025, the museum participated in the Ignite Their Spark fundraising event.
