Discovery Gateway Children's Museum serves the Salt Lake City region with interactive exhibits and programs intended to engage children in learning through play. It began in 1978 as The Children's Museum of Utah and later moved to its current Salt Lake City location in 2006, continuing a multi-decade commitment to families in Utah and the broader Intermountain West. Since the move, the facility has welcomed more than 1.25 million visitors—children, parents, and educators—who participate in its hands-on educational experiences. The museum operates within the broader museum, historical sites, and zoo industry, positioning itself as a community-focused resource for early learning. A recent development includes the launch of a kid-sized Utah Transit Authority bus exhibit, expanding its hands-on offerings for visitors.
