Located in the heart of historic Winchester, VA, the Shenandoah Valley Discovery Museum is a kid-focused destination featuring four stories of hands-on fun. Each story features plenty of hands-on areas that encourage problem-solving, creative thinking, and collaboration. Best of all, kids don’t know they’re learning — they just think they’re having a great time!
