DECORAH — The highly-anticipated Sunflower Discovery Center officially opened its doors to the public on November 1, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for local families and visitors. After extensive planning, construction, and "checking boxes," the center's Director of Operations, Daiton Johnson, shared her excitement about finally unveiling the new community space. "It's surreal that it's finally here," Johnson shared, watching her daughter happily play in the center. "We're thrilled to be able to share this space with Decorah and the surrounding communities. We hope it will bring families together, where they can experience everything we have to offer and spread the word to their friends and neighbors." The center held an Open House event on October 25, drawing a strong turnout as families and community members explored its vibrant exhibits, hands-on learning areas, and interactive play zones. The positive response from attendees reflected the excitement surrounding the new facility and its potential to enrich the community. In addition to its exhibits, the Discovery Center offers party rentals and membership options, which are now available through their newly launched website. With the holiday season quickly approaching, the center is planning a big push to attract families looking for fun and educational holiday activities.
