The Discovery Center in east-central Fresno will be getting a makeover starting Saturday.

The center will be closed – but will still host previously scheduled school field trips – while it adds new attractions such as an air track, green screen room, egg shooter, medical office, earthquake table and an energy center.

The center will re-open March 25 for an adults-only fundraiser with the theme “A Night at the Museum.”

It will re-open to the public March 26.
