Childrens Discovery Museum - Tucked away in the old Kreisle Building in downtown Victoria is a special place for the young and young at heart. Once a carriage house, now large purple letters high above the entrance proclaim the building's purpose. And with a touch of whimsy, brightly colored, hand-painted ceramic tiles adorn the façade and beckon visitors to enter. Once inside, children and their parents have an opportunity to slow down the hectic pace in which we are often caught up and experience the pleasure of unhurried exploration and just plain fun. The museum is committed to provide educational opportunities for children that stimulate thought, imagination and understanding through hands on exhibits and programs focused on the careers and industries important to the area's development.
