The 42,000 square foot Creative Discovery Museum, located two blocks from the Tennessee Aquarium, is a place where children learn about their world through hands-on creativity and individual achievement. Real-life artists, musicians, inventers and scientists guide visitors through the interactive exhibits and answer questions. The museum opened in 1995.

More than 210,000 visitors experienced the Creative Discovery Museum last year, drawing its primary attendance from a 150-mile radius of Chattanooga. The museum is among the tops in attendance for children’s museums nationwide and was recently ranked 13th among more than 200 children’s museums evaluated nationwide.
