The daylong celebration of curiosity and creativity will encompass the entire museum and grounds, stretching from the museum’s parking lot to its gardens. DiscoverFest (formerly Tinkerfest) will include hands-on interactive activities that introduce children to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), engage their imaginations, and inspire creativity.

Guests can expect dozens of activities hosted by community partners in addition to Science Museum Oklahoma’s regular exhibits. Guests must check in at the museum’s box office upon arrival to receive a wristband that will grant access to the museum and all activities, which will conclude at 4 p.m. The museum will remain open until 6 p.m.
