About Us
My World Discovery Museum is a non-profit group working toward the goal of building and maintaining a hands-on children’s museum in the Pocatello, Idaho area.
The idea came from co-founders Melody Daniels and Natali McKee. As they sat talking one day, in January 2018, they both expressed a desire for there to be a children’s museum in Pocatello, both to take their own children to and to entertain friends and family coming into town. Within a few short weeks Melody and Natali were looking at potential venues and being interviewed by the local news.
After that, things in 2018 moved pretty quickly; a board of directors was established, non-profit status approved, multiple potential venues were toured, a number of fundraising events were held, and various community out-reach programs were held and supported.
The future of the museum is promising as community members continue to support the vision of having a family-oriented, kid friendly venue to educate and entertain those living in and visiting Southeast Idaho. In Fall of 2020 we will be opening in a small, temporary space while we continue to raise funds for our larger, permanent location. We are excited for the love and the support we have been continuously given by our community in Southeast Idaho.
