Today's Hours
10:00am - 8:00pm There’s always more to discover!
The Discovery inspires lifelong learning through its exciting hands-on exhibitions, programs and special events. To reinforce the belief that learning is a lifelong journey, The Discovery is excited to partner with the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at the University of Nevada, Reno, another institution that inspires a love of lifelong learning.
In December 2025, The Discovery began offering annual memberships designed specifically for OLLI members, called Discover With OLLI. In addition to the benefits normally associated with a membership to The Discovery, OLLI members also receive several exclusive benefits. To purchase a Discover With OLLI membership, you must have an active OLLI membership. Discovery With OLLI membership details are available on the OLLI website.
