Long Description
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 & The Fresno Jr. Museum of Science & Natural History were then established on the site in 1954. Fresno Discovery Center has a rich & extensive history, while remaining a top destination for school visit field trips. Check Out Our Website!
