Discovery Children's Museum
There's a jewel of a good time for your kids located at 833 Las Vegas Boulevard. This Museum was voted the Best Museum in Las Vegas for 13 years straight and with good reason.
This museum caters to children of all ages and has a myriad of hands-on activities that will allow your children to learn while they play. There is a heavy focus on interactive experiences at this venue and your kids will experience the realms of science, nature, and culture to life.
Some recent exhibitions at the museum have showcased the senses of smell and hearing, world travel, Vietnamese folktales, and the history of film. There are a huge number of demonstrations that go on every day and on weekends, along with workshops and other special activities to keep your young ones completely entertained.
The hours of operation for the Museum are Tuesday through Sunday from 10Am to 5PM. Admission to the Museum is only $7 for adults, seniors and military personnel with ID. Admission for children is $6. The Museum accepts Visa, Master Card, Discover, and American Express.
If you have little ones under the age of 5, they will get a real kick out of the Desert Discovery Center where they can put on hard hats and pretend to mine. Sending their soft sculpture "boulders" up by a hand crank system. Cactus Construction is another fun area for the little ones where they can pretend play on a construction site made just for kids. Desert in the Dark is another fun learning quest where little ones can learn that not all creatures go to bed when it is dark. Stepping through a child-sized door beneath the magic day-night clock, children find themselves outside in the desert after dark and will learn about all the wildlife that calls the desert their home before and after dark, it is a fun and non-threatening excursion that even little ones who are a little edgy about darkened rooms will enjoy.
For the littlest travelers with you, there is even something for them to enjoy. Baby Oasis is a cozy space filled with stimulating items for babies to manipulate and explore with their hands, eyes, and ears. No matter what their ages, your children will be delighted with this stop on your next trip to Vegas.
