Who Are We?

The 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. The Fresno Discovery Center has a rich and extensive history, while remaining a top destination for school visit field trips.

On July 1, 1968, non-profit status for the organization was secured. The Discovery Center was renamed in the 1970’s due to the curating of educational classes, exhibit displays as well as live animal exhibits, where more recently, Fresno Discovery Center has provided a myriad of educational programming opportunities for schools throughout the Central Valley, from as far south as Bakersfield, reaching over 12,860 school children last year through school field trips alone. The Discovery Center served an additional 26,889 visitors and members in the last fiscal year. Our park includes the beautiful Deutsch Cactus Garden and a tortoise compound, with lots of space for kids to run, have lunch and just be kids. Our Science Center includes an array of information and exhibits on Space, Botany, Geology, Physics and live animals. Questions, Concerns and Volunteers & Donations gladly welcomed!
