Creative Discovery Museum

The Creative Discovery Museum is a hands-on children's museum at 321 Chestnut Street in downtown Chattanooga, a short walk from the Tennessee Aquarium. The exhibits span multiple floors and include an art studio, a musician's workshop with real instruments, a rooftop RiverPlay area with a climbing structure, a toddler zone for young children, and science exhibits with interactive demonstrations. The museum is designed for children from toddler age through early middle school, though the art studio draws older kids and adults as well. Year-round programming includes school holiday camps, weekend workshops, birthday party packages, and seasonal events. Admission covers all permanent exhibits. Parking is available in the aquarium garage one block over.
