Have you been to Discovery Gateway Children’s Museum lately? I know it is crazy but, until yesterday, I had never been. I had the chance to preview their newest exhibit and I can tell you this one is going to be a HIT! Discovery Gateway and Intermountain Healthcare have come together and produced an amazing exhibit called “Saving Lives.”
Discovery Gateway’s new Saving Lives exhibit, sponsored by Intermountain Healthcare, is the first of its kind! Featuring the iconic Life Flight helicopter and a kid-sized Primary Children’s emergency department, the exhibit is entirely hands-on, with interactive opportunities for up to 40 children at one time; including:
- Coordinate a Life Flight Launch in the Command Center
- Transport patients from the helicopter to Primary Children’s emergency department
- Join the surgical team to perform one of three surgeries via iPad apps
I personally got to check each of these features out and I can tell you that your kiddos are going to go CRAZY over this new exhibit. The Life Flight helicopter now has a covering over it to protect it from the weather. It even lights up and makes the sound of a helicopter taking off in flight. The Command Center has all the bells and wistles you would expect. From buttons that call the helicopter, to a screen with video of an actual helicopter taking off. It also has a phone to communicate with the mini Primary Children’s Emergency Department.
Kids of all ages will love the kid sized Primary Children’s Hospital. It has the cutest little mini check-in desk, murals on the wall that remind you of the actual hospital, x-ray machines, little mini scrubs, and even a little surgery center. Kids will even have the opportunity to perform surgeries via iPad apps (the ipads are mounted in little wooden children on hospital tables).
Everything is state of the art and kid friendly. This is such a cool addition to the already amazing children’s museum. I can’t wait to take my kiddos back!

We’ve never been, but I’ve heard great things. Since we’ve been to Primary’s numbers of times, I think my kids would have fun in an interactive exhibit that’s like the hospital. Sounds like fun!
We have never been. This would be a great opportunity!
My girls love the little house and grocery store!
We have been once a couple of years ago. But my 5 year old wants to be a doctor AND a policeman when he grows up so this would be fantastic!!
This WILL be perfect for him!
Looks lit a ton of fun – and a good outing for my littles while dad is at work all day.
My husband and I went without kids 2 summers ago. I am not sure WHAT we were thinking… but it would be so fun with our kiddos! They would love the helicopter and pretty much, well, everything!
Ha ha Loreen! You did see that it is a “Children’s Museum.” Right? 😉
Yeah… my husband is just really an overgrown child, so it’s not usually a problem for us to go to kids places… But we got the special wristbands and everything 🙂
I have one of those hubbies too! So I totally understand.
Must be something about school teachers… 🙂
Would LOVE to take my boys! I think they would really enjoy it!
We have been, my kids love the ball thing right at the beginning. I can’t wait for them to see the whole new exhibit but I think my 8 year old will love the iPad surgery part.
I think it is going to be perfect for older kids like your 8 year old. They are excited to have a great exhibit that will be good for older kids too.
We haven’t been yet, but hopefully soon! I am excited about the exhibit because it is important for the kids to learn about how those things work. Maybe if an emergency were to ever happen it would be just a little less scary for them. Thanks for a great giveaway!
I totally agree Kalli! I think it is a perfect way to introduce this type of thing to little ones and help make it less scary.
My children love Discovery Gateway! They love how interactive the exhibits are – we spent lots of time in the little store.
We love the museum! Haven’t been in a couple years so I would love to take my kids!

My husband and I got to quickly walk through as they were closing one night, but that was before we had our little girl. I would love to go again and take my little girl!!
I’ve gone a few times with my nephews and nieces and they love it. They’ll love the interactive operations at the new exhibit.
We LOVE the Museum! We only go once a year, but its always a favorite! Can’t wait to let my babies fix my owies:) those bumblebee band aids are too cute!
This is my kids all time favorite place to go. They love the supermarket and the water play area. They also love all the stuff you can build in the upstairs!! It would be so fun to win!!
Bailey LOVED this today. Especially the new exhibit there. She has spent SOO much time at Primary Children’s hospital, so she knows all the ins and outs. It was fun for her to see everything. They did a great job. 🙂 We’d love a year pass to go anytime, especially when we are off track from school!
