The Discovery Science Center is a nonprofit organization in the United States dedicated to hands-on science education for children. For more than 35 years, it has pursued four core initiatives designed to prepare teachers, students, and lifelong learners, spanning early childhood education, STEM proficiency, healthy living, and environmental stewardship. The organization emphasizes outreach and practical application, extending its impact beyond its on-site experiences and operating venues in Orange County, Southern California. Its audience includes children, students, families, and educators seeking engaging, experiential science learning. A recent development supporting its mission is the May 2024 launch of Dino Quest at its Discovery Cube Orange County venue, a remodeled exhibit space that features life-sized dinosaurs.
