Coming Soon in Summer 2025!

The Discovery Center is currently closed to the public for renovations. We look forward to welcoming visitors back to the Center in the summer of 2025. During its renovation, our education staff will continue to facilitate on-site education programs for K–12 classes and teachers’ professional development sessions. Reservations for both programs should be made by emailing fieldtrips@nara.gov.
