When it’s just too darn hot this summer, take the kids into the cool, air-conditioned wonder of The Discovery Center at Murfree Spring — a hands-on, environmental, cultural and educational museum located at 502 SE Broad St., Murfreesboro.
The museum is open Tuesday – Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Adjacent to the Center is the protected Murfree Spring wetlands, a natural habitat for a variety of fish, amphibians and birds.
