Our shop
Thrift & Gift
Always free to come in and shop. No membership or admission fee required. Affordable finds for real families, with room for local creativity.
Something worth stopping in for.
The front of the Discovery Center will bring together secondhand treasures, family-friendly deals, gifts, and items from local vendors as the shop grows.
Our goal is a place where you can find something useful or unexpected without turning a quick shopping trip into a big expense.
Educational toys and science-related items are part of our longer-term plans.
