Nonprofit Rentals
It is important to us that The Discovery Center is accessible and we know how hard it can be for nonprofits to find the space they need at the price they need, so we offer a discount on rentals to nonprofits. See below for information about our available spaces and prices. To inquire about availability, please fill out this form.
If you’re a nonprofit in 19121 or 19132 and need occasional meeting space (for a board meeting or the like) and can meet during our normal operating hours, we can offer you free space. Please fill out the inquiry form for more information.
Once you fill out the form staff will be in touch to either ask for more details or confirm your booking if the space is available. Please no phone calls.
Please note, we cannot accept rentals for Sunday evening (past 5pm)
We have no Friday, Saturday, or Sunday evenings available in March, April, or May 2025.
