Lynn Meadows Discovery Center is much more than a children’s museum. It’s a place where children and adults of every age can imagine, create and have fun!
Come discover all LMDC has to offer…
DISCOVER ENDLESS FUN
Blocks from the beach in Gulfport sits a colorful old school building, whimsical and welcoming, awaiting children to come and play. It’s Lynn Meadows Discovery Center, Mississippi’s original children’s museum, and so much more.
Follow the path through the towering live oaks, enter the bright blue door and get ready for an incredible—and affordable— family adventure!
Rising through the center of the facility is the Super Colossal Climbing Structure that acts as an axis for the other exhibits and lets children reach for the stars.
On the bottom floor, let the little ones loose in Bear Camp Bayou, a special place just for them. Stop by to get their pet checked or to play the role of a caring vet at The Little Pet Vet. Hop aboard the Dolan Avenue Express. Put their imaginations to work at The Port. And, stop by the art studio to make a creative keepsake.
Travel upstairs to visit the Sun, Earth, Universe then check into a historic hotel. Stop by the market for a few necessities and a lot of fun. Get excited about science with hands-on observations. Be the star of their own talk show, host or participate in a game show, or report the news and weather at WLMDC-TV.
Outside offers an equal amount of intrigue. Play house in the tops of hundred-year-old trees. Venture to the cabin down by Bear Creek. Take a stroll along Kids Street, where the homes are kid-sized but big on fun!
DISCOVER YOUR WINGS
For aspiring young actors, WINGS Performing Arts provides a great start. Theatre workshops and productions seek to nurture the talent, spirit and leadership of children and youth.

DISCOVER YOUR INNER CHEF
