The mission of the Delmarva Discovery Museum is to foster an appreciation of Delmarva's unique natural and cultural heritage through education, exploration and enjoyment.
Some of our main attractions are listed below. We have so much to discover through fun and learning! Our museum is rich in the history and culture of the Delmarva Peninsula. We are always excited to meet new guests and returning friendly faces! Be sure to check out the gift shop for local artwork and fun science-based activities for the kids!
River Otters
Here we have the Wally Gordon River Otter Exhibit which is home to our two Northern American River Otters, Mac and Tuck. They are our top attraction at the museum! Join us for one of their enrichment feedings or public programs, where we talk about this native species and tell their story!
Multi-Level
Steamboat Exhibit
Another one of our popular attractions is our Steamboat Exhibit! On this multi-level boat, we display many models of ships that were home to this region, while also getting the feel of what it was like to be inside a steamboat!
