A fixture of Beckley's lovely New River Park, the Youth Museum of Southern West Virginia houses kid-friendly indoor and outdoor exhibits that make learning fun. A planetarium lies on the premises, as well as boxcar galleries featuring changing exhibits on dinosaurs, bats, artists, and other topics from science and the humanities. On the museum's exterior, the Mountain Homestead display simulates an Appalachian frontier settlement. The park lies slightly to the north and west of downtown, near Raleigh General Hospital.
