The Discovery Center & Truth Bookstore

My family and I had a wonderful time here. We spent 3 hours here learning all about so many different things. God is Truth and thats the end of the that story. The staff are so sweet and could be angels in disguise. This place a true gem that everyone should see!

The animals are very clearly not taken care of. This poor dove has been pulling its feathers out due to stress. The reptiles are enclosed in spaces entirely too small and have no where to climb or hide. Truly heartbreaking. I don’t recommend giving them any of your money. It clearly doesn’t go to the care of these animals.

Great little gem of a museum in the heart of Abilene. Exhibits are free, but a donation is recommended. Great place to spend an afternoon and learn about the Titanic (did you know they guy who found it lived in Abilene?), Israel, The Ark and so much more. They have a few animals that are hands on and a cool mini sandbox for the kids. They also have a summer camp that my son loved. They even had the kids 'dig' for fossils. They offer so much information, you won't have time to do everything. It's a great way to keep the kids entertained without all the money. Bonus fact: they have a Woolly Mammoth tooth, you'll have to check out. Be prepared, you will have to plan multiple trips!

This is an interesting place to visit! It centers on a Christian perspective of how our world was created along with several historical time periods. The kids especially enjoy the dinosaur display. Admission is by donation so if you can't afford much feel easy about going anyway.

My husband and I dropped in to the Discovery Center totally unexpectedly on a mission to head to the antique mall next door that was closed when we got there before our appointment at the DMV. We decided to take a look around the shops nearby and noticed the Discovery Center. Gwen was the most welcoming host! She gave us a rundown of the museum and introduced us to lovely Henry (the museum’s orange cat)! We want to express our gratitude for having someone on board that is passionate about what she does and she surely left an imprint on us. We hope that the next time we both are in Abilene—the Discovery Center will be our first stop to see Gwen! I wish we could have explored more of it, but we were on a time crunch as it wasn’t on our to-do list for the very small roadtrip west. What a fascinating place!

This place is amazing full of mind blowing information about God's creation of man, God's Laws, and much more. On top of all of that the ladies and volunteers that run The Center are the sweetest ever.

Very nice, small, family-owned museum with a wide variety of exhibits that go beyond the usual creation museum exhibits, such as moonwalking, the Titanic ("the second-most famous ship"), and the Holocaust. The owners were super nice and we got a free personalized tour.

Carolyn and Gwen are the best tour guides! They are knowledgeable and passionate about this center! We enjoyed our time spent there. My grandchildren had so much fun. There's much to see, lots to hear. Thank you, Discovery Center, for what you do! Prov. 25:2
