Discovery Children's Museum Winter STEM & Eco-Adventures

About this adventure

Spanning three expansive floors and 58,000 square feet adjacent to The Smith Center in Downtown Las Vegas Symphony Park, the Discovery Children's Museum is Southern Nevada's premier interactive cultural institution for children. During winter break and the early months of the year, the museum hosts engaging seasonal STEAM workshops, eco-science challenges, and robotics demonstrations. Children can scramble through 'The Summit,' a towering 70-foot climbing structure packed with 12 levels of interactive science experiments, explore water mechanics and dam engineering in 'Water World,' design and patent imaginative inventions in 'Patents Pending,' and role-play in 'Eco City.' The dedicated 'Toddler Town' exhibit provides a secure, crawl-friendly desert-themed sensory play zone specifically tailored for babies and toddlers under age five. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Fully ADA-compliant with wide automatic doors, multiple oversized elevators serving all three levels, and convenient stroller parking corrals outside key exhibits. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Private, comfortable nursing mother's room located on the second level; benches positioned throughout all galleries; immaculate family restrooms on every floor. • Age Suitability: Carefully engineered for infants through tweens (ages 0 to 12), with designated toddler spaces and challenging STEM maker labs for older kids. • Sensory Tips: Water World and The Summit can be high-energy and acoustically lively; sensory bags containing noise-dampening headphones, sunglasses, and fidget toys are available for checkout at the front desk.
