Discovery World

Founded by Robert Powrie Harland, Sr.,[1] Discovery World was initially known as the Science, Economics and Technology Center.

Leadership Discovery World contains numerous interactive science, technology, and freshwater exhibits in its 140,000-square foot facility.

With the push of a button, visitors can call for "rain" to fall down upon this watershed, observing where the water flows and how run-off pollutants navigate the region.

Tank exhibits replicate a wide variety of aquatic habitats, including that of Lake Michigan, the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, the Caribbean Sea, and much more.

The Dream Machine allows the public to design products to take home, experience a custom-built automated factory, and learn modern engineering trends.

[6] Other exhibits at Discovery World include The Challenge (an 88 ft replica of a 19th century schooner), Simple Machine Shipyard, Driving and Flight Simulators, All Aboard, Milwaukee Muscle, Power On, Physics and You, The Innovation Station, Virtual Explorer, Clean Air Trek, BIG, Power On, and The Distant Mirror.
