Everyone in Minot sees it. It’s there on the hill taunting those that drive north on Hwy 83. The Magic City Discovery Center is a glowing, captivating building with untapped and mysterious treasures within. Well, that’s what we all have seen on the glimpses releases and what imaginations seem to explore. However, what is really going on and the biggest question on every one’s mind is: When Will it OPEN?

Executive Director, Wendy Keller said that even though the opening date has been pushed countless times, they will not open until all the buildings and exhibits are at 95%. She said, “You only get one chance to make a first impression”. The current opening time frame is set for mid April 2023.

Keller continued to explain that when the Discovery Center does open they will have a wide range of activities for all age groups and plan to add new exhibits as time goes on. She wanted to make a special point telling Military families that, “We offer a 20% military discount on admissions, memberships (which gives you 20% off camps) and 10% off merchandise and birthday parties.” She also noted that yearly memberships start when purchased and last a full calendar year, so they can be bought any time!
