How do you keep the attention of a child in this day and age? You basically have to rip their smartphones out of their hands. It’s not even a punishment to send them to their room anymore!
Wow. Times have changed since the ’90s.
I think we have a solution that will get your children off the couch and open their minds to something new.
Discover the Discover Cube
Throughout the year, the Discover Cube OC is home to traveling exhibits and community events and programs for whole family to experience together. They have their permanent STEM based exhibits focusing on everything from space to fossils and physics to climate. I’ve also gone for traveling exhibitions like Legos, DC Superheroes, Star Wars, and everything else that can get the attention of children – and adults for that matter. If you are using your smartphone – use it for finding out everything coming to the Discovery Cube this season. Here are some of the upcoming events happening at the Discovery Cube Orange County:
