===DISCOVERY CENTER Reservations===
The FamilySearch Discovery Center is free and is open to the public.
Because the Discovery Center Experience is a popular evening activity scheduling a visit ahead of time ''(required for groups of 6 or more)'' will result in a better experience, especially during peak evening visiting hours.<br>
The scheduling page indicates available dates and times. You can check availability without placing a reservation and then return later to make a selection. 
Start times are every 30 minutes.  A reservation of 15 visitors maximum.  If your group is larger than 15, make multiple reservations to accommodate all the people in your group. (For example, for a group of 25, please reserve one time slot for 15 and another slot for the remaining 10.)  Visitors typically spend 30 to 45 minutes to complete the experience.
===What to Expect===
When you arrive, you will be given an Ipad which will be used at each of the Discovery Experiences.  <span style="background:Yellow"><b>EVERY person in the group will need a FamilySearch account username and password.</b></span>
:Step 1.  Login to FamilySearch and take a ''selfie''.
:Step 2.  Take a picture with your group in front of one of many historic or panorama backdrops. Through text messaging, this picture will be sent to you.

The FamilySearch Discovery Center is free and is open to the public. <br>
Because the Discovery Center Experience is a popular evening activity scheduling a visit ahead of time will result in a better experience, especially during peak evening visiting hours.<br>
We recommend scheduling groups of at least 6 and no more than 15 visitors for each session. <br>
If your group is larger than 15, make multiple reservations to accommodate all the people in your group. (For example, for a group of 25, please reserve one time slot for 15 and another slot for the remaining 10.) Start times are every 30 minutes.  <br>
Children's Groups are ages 8-10 and Youth Groups are ages 11+.  There are many engaging experiences that leaders will want to have with their groups.  So we encourage all leaders to remain with their groups the entire experience.
Visitors typically spend 30 to 45 minutes to complete the experience. <br>
The scheduling page indicates available dates and times.  You can check availability without placing a reservation and then return later to make a selection.<br>
