We visited the Discovery Center for the first time last weekend. It had a number of displays and a very interesting moving about soldiers training for mountain climbing back in the 40's. I had not known that that happened. Would stop there again.

We were visiting the area and were told to check this out. This is a really well restored piece of history. We learned a lot about the area. Being from Pittsburgh originally Wheeling was always just a pass through, but stopping here really did provide a lot of insight about the history of the Wheeling and how West Virginia was formed. This probably would not keep you kids engaged. Teenagers if interested in history would probably enjoy it. I would plan on 1 to 1.5 hours. The staff was excellent! Since this is their slow time we basically got over views from several of the staff members and they new the history well. They also said there are a ton of special events hosted by them and that the participate in.
