Give to Discovery Park

Gifts to Discovery Park go to support and strengthen every area of the museum and park. From regular maintenance and day-to-day operations to allowing the Discovery Park educators to create new life-changing exhibits, programs and classes. Gifts go to work immediately inspiring children and adults to see beyond. Gifts may also be made in honor or memory of a loved one.

A contribution of $250 to the Kirkland Scholarship Fund will pay for 100% of the cost of admission for 30 students to visit Discovery Park of America.  This fund targets schools where 50% or more of the students qualify for the free or reduced lunch program.
