Welcome to discoveryplayhouse.org

The Discovery Playhouse

Tax Credits have been approved by the Missouri Department of Economic Development for the renovation of a historic building in downtown Cape Girardeau. Renovations are underway on our new location at 502 Broadway, at the corner of Middle Street. We have a lease/purchase agreement on the new building which has a total of 18,000 square feet and is located in the heart of the Broadway corridor in downtown Cape Girardeau. With the help of a number of sponsors, new exhibits are being developed for our new space, including a 1952 fire truck that the kids can climb into!!!

We are busy renovating the building at 502 Broadway, adding new plumbing, wiring, heating/cooling system and a sprinkler system.  We are relying on volunteer labor to keep costs down, so it is slow going - but much progress is being made.  We are hopeful that we will be open in late fall of 2008.  Stay tuned for great things to come!!
