Today's Hours
10:00am - 5:00pm There’s always more to discover!
Spark!Lab Smithsonian
Invention is a process, from the spark of an idea all the way to successful marketing, and Spark!Lab Smithsonian uses fun activities to help museum visitors learn about the history and process of invention. In this exhibition, you’ll play games, conduct experiments, explore inventors’ notebooks, view famous inventions, and even invent something new of your own!
The Discovery is proud to be home of the first Spark!Lab Smithsonian opened outside of the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Since then the Spark!Lab Network has grown to eight locations throughout the United States.
Ongoing support for Spark!Lab Smithsonian at The Discovery is provided by Dorothy Lemelson.
