DISCOVERY Children’s Museum Las Vegas
Recently I had the pleasure of a visit from my out of town children as well as their 2 and 5 year old bundles of joy. We needed to entertain our grandchildren. After a bit of research and the suggestion of an experienced friend, the Discovery Museum was our destination. My only concern was how to keep the 2 and 5 year old OCCUPIED and not just looking at exhibits.
Being from Chicago and having the Kohl’s Children Museum as comparable destination, we selected Discovery. I must tell you that the Discovery Children’s Museum won the contest and is far superior to my former home town of Chicago.
Discovery Children's Museum has hundreds of HANDS-ON exhibits about science, art and culture. The museum is located at the Donald W. Reynolds Discovery Center in downtown Las Vegas. This fun family destination is great place to visit for locals as well as out of town visiting children. The museum new three stories tall, 58,000 square feet building and is almost twice the size as the old building. A few exhibits made the move to the new building but most of the exhibits are new. For children 5 years and younger there is a exhibition area designed just for them. Discovery Children's Museum is one of best KID'S ACTIVITIES in Las Vegas and has separate areas just for toddlers. The museum gets busy on weekends, so either arrive early or plan your visit during the week.
Traveling exhibits, special demonstrations and activities are all part of the museum experience. Call ahead and check for a schedule of events taking place during the day. There are plenty of INTERACTIVE EXHIBITS for kids to play with including a green village where kids can change a car tire, a fake bathroom where they can fix the plumbing, an airport with an airplane they can pilot, an exhibit where children can make huge bubbles, go grocery shopping and serve you in their mock children's restaurant, and a great arts and crafts area for them to be creative.
Lied Discovery Museum has been recognized as the "Best Museum in Las Vegas", " Best Indoor Play space" and "Best Place to Take the Kids by Las Vegas".
If you are looking for a fun place to take kids in Las Vegas, look no further, head to the Discovery Children's Museum.
