Discover the power of play at the Mid-Hudson Discovery Museum in Poughkeepsie.

The museum is geared to fuel the curiosity of science in grade school children.

The museum's two floors are made up of five exhibits galleries filled with hands-on experiments, imaginative play, early learning spaces and more.

"That's hands-on learning, they learn how to fail and they learn what success can feel like," said the museum's Executive Director Jeff Sasson.

Kids are encouraged to become familiar, comfortable and curious about how the world works around them.

"The excitement of success is contagious, and that's what they can get here," said Sasson.

Through science, literacy, math, art, music and community, the museum hopes to help develop foundational learning skills in children in a fun way.
