Our Center exhibits highlight Fresno culture and have been designed to nurture visitors scientific imaginations, build their confidence, competence, and encourage them to test, tinker, create, and wonder!

Long Description
A GLIMPSE INTO OUR HISTORY Our Roots Fresno Discovery Center is rooted in generosity. Funds were donated to the City of Fresno by Frank Reedy to purchase land, previously owned by the Roessler family, in order to provide for the creation of a green space or city park for the “children of Fresno.” This area was named Reedy Park in honor of Frank Reedy's generous donation. Reedy Park and The Fresno Jr. Museum of Science and Natural History were then established on the site in 1954. Fresno Discovery Center has a rich and extensive history, while remaining a top destination for school visit field trips.
