    Wow, talk about pessimistic reviewers there below! I love Discovery World! An awesome place to be on the lakefront, right next to the Art Museum. Touch tanks are great for the kids, there's all hands on exhibits. Milwaukee Pub. Museum hasn't changed its main exhibits in YEARS-- Discovery World changes out theirs and adds new stuff all the time. Because of that, there's some in development and that's what I think the reviewers below were saying. Take your kids! It'll be worth the experience.

    Very expensive, half of the stuff wasn't even working! Staff was minimal and there weren't even any explanations of the exhibits. It was really lame, disappointing. The food cafe was tiny with no seating. I went once before and it was so much better than this time around... I would recommend going to the milwaukee public museum over this!

    I HAD A TERRRIBLE EXPIRENCE AT YOUR FACILITY.. NOTHING IS REAL AND EVERY THING LOOKS LIKE FAKE,.
    THE PARTIES WAS NOT VERY EXCITING AND THE STAFF WAS NEVER THERE TO HELP THE KIDS.. THE STAFF WAS GONE FOR 1:30 HOURS.. I FELT LIKE I WAS IN A WAREHOUSE .. THE FACILITY LOOKED LIKED IT WAS HALF WAY DONE.. NOT ENOUGH INFO FOR THE CHILDREN TO EXBAND THEIR MINDS..WHO WANTS TO BE IN A WAREHOUSE.. THE OLD MUSEUM WAS A LOT BETTER THEN THE NEW ONE.. WHY MOVE???
