Welcome to The Cowboy Carousel Children's Discovery Center

    Cowboy Carousel Center's in house program - The Discovery Center

    The Cowboy Carousel Discover Center is a nonprofit educational and cultural institution committed to serving the needs and interest of children by providing STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) exhibits and programs that stimulate curiosity and motivate learning. In the coming years, as we move forward, everything will be designed to inspire children to explore, imagine, and experiment. Interactive experiences are an integral element of learning. When children are given the freedom to play, they develop life skills like curiosity, confidence, and creativity. These skills strengthen a child’s potential to excel in school, their future careers, their communities, and beyond. The Cowboy Carousel Center is excited to provide these programs to the families of Johnson County and surrounding areas.

     

    STEAM Saturdays are the second Saturday of the month. They are free FUN hands-on workshops that explore different areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math! Students will take part in unique activities, plus create take-home projects. The workshops are designed for ages 1 through 10 years old.
