Onsite Programs
Afterschool Theater Program
Located inside the renovated Theater, our exciting six-week after-school theatre program is held once a week on Friday evenings from 4:30 PM to 5:45 PM. Starting August 29th and ending October 4th, this program is perfect for kids aged 5-7. Get ready to dive into the world of character acting, voice projection, and all things performance! By the end of the program, you’ll be ready to shine on stage in a spectacular show for your friends and family!
Daily Art Studio
The Art Studio, located on the main floor by “Waterplay,” is open to all guests. Our art instructor hosts new arts and crafts activities daily, allowing visitors to explore a variety of artistic expressions. Enjoy make-and-take crafts and gain new skills by visiting our Art Studio!
Special thanks to the Marriner Eccles Foundation and the Lawrence T. and Janet T. Dee Foundation for their support of the Art Studio.
Starting in March, guest artists will be at the museum for special art programs including drawing, painting, crafting, and sculpting.

Steam Lab
Discovery Gateway’s STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) lab offers a wide variety of real-world, inquiry-based, participant-focused, and engaging experiences. Programs may vary from short 10-15 minute introductory activities to more in-depth family learning experiences that can last 30 to 60 minutes. The STEM approach is an especially impactful way to introduce young children to the more traditionally rigorous STEM fields. Local artists, scientists, and other community partners such as the Bureau of Land Management, U of U Science Department, the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, and the Utah Division of Arts and Museums are a few of the community partners who have collaborated with the museum. We strongly believe that through interaction with STEAM exhibits and programs, participants can experience wonder, inquiry, experimentation, problem-solving, and most importantly, learning through play.
The STEAM Lab is proudly sponsored by Collins Aerospace and the Williams Foundation.
