Heritage Discovery Center

"This place is huge and has so much to see! It is so well done and each exhibit is interesting and interactive. There are so many things for kids to do of all ages. If I loved nearby, I'd definitely make multiple visits to be able to explore everything!"

"Great interactive museum/exhibit that explains the History of Johnstown and people who came from over seas to live there and start a new life. Lots of fun and has a play room for kids on the 3rd floor."

"We went, spur of the moment in a Saturday. 1st floor was very educational and interesting. You can follow the life of an immigrant and learn what they had to endure on the journey. We took my grandkids (ages 4 and 1), and they LOVED the 2nd floor. It's filled with tons for kids to do. Fun while still educational. The air conditioning was out of order on the 1st floor, but worked on the 2nd- so we survived!! Lol!"

"Love the children’s museum. We’ve been here at least three times. It is johnstown specific but again, needs a reinvestment in supplies. For example, you can do water play where you recreate the flood of 1889. Now, the wood pieces are so worn from use that they no longer provide the dam breaking experience and the water just all trickles through. Some exhibits have been broken for years, while others remain in excellent condition and have been updated. My Kids fav remains the coal exhibit- my great great grandfather was a coal miner here and I like that the kids can connect with and learn more about that experience hands on. The museum just needs some investment in the exhibits and it will be 5 stars again."

"A wonderful experience for both adults and children. The first two floors are for historical purposes on immigrants stories who came to America, many parts interactive. The third floor was perfect for kids with a building area, water play area, deck garden, mining coal area with indoor slide, career area, sound board, kitchen and store areas as well. Fourth and fifth floor for adults."
