Discovery Gateway children's museum mission is to inspire children of all ages to imagine, discover, and connect with their world to make a difference. Founded in 1978 as The Children's Museum of Utah, we have a thirty-year history of dedicated service to the families of Utah and the Intermountain West. Since moving to our new location in 2006, more than 1,250,000 children, parents, and educators have explored our facility and our hands-on, educational exhibits and programs.
