A small science museum built for ages 2–12 inside the Frisco Discovery Center: a wind tunnel, bubble tables, a ball wall, and a dedicated toddler zone. Not as big as the Perot, but less crowded, cheaper, and you can do it all — a regular rainy-day and heat-wave option in the northern suburbs.

💡 Tips
Admission is about $10–12/person, under 2 free, check the website; usually closed Mondays. The new Frisco library and Hope Park playground share the same lot, so you can switch between them seamlessly.
