Discovery World is a museum located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at 500 N. Harbor Drive. When the museum moved to Milwaukee's lakefront in 2006, the museum changed its full name to Discovery World at Pier Wisconsin. It formerly was located at 815 N. James Lovell Street.

It currently focuses on innovation and technology, as well as Great Lakes education and conservation. Its brand new building is filled with interactive exhibits, theaters, the Reiman Family Aquarium and Wisconsin's official flagship, the Denis Sullivan, a fully-functional sailing vessel modeled after a 19th century Great Lakes schooner.

The museum is run by Discovery World, Ltd. which was formed after a merger with Pier Wisconsin, Ltd.
