Thanksgiving Weekend Family STEAM Workshop at Discovery Children's Museum

About this adventure

Adjacent to Symphony Park in downtown Las Vegas, the three-story DISCOVERY Children's Museum hosts dedicated Thanksgiving weekend family STEAM workshops designed to inspire young inventors. In the Patents Pavilion and Toddler Town makerspaces, children engineer miniature cranberry catapults using craft sticks and rubber bands to test trajectory physics, construct light-up gratitude greeting cards with conductive copper tape and LEDs, and explore harvest chemistry through colorful density column experiments with maple syrup, water, and desert botanicals. Afterward, kids can climb the museum's signature 70-foot interactive tower The Summit. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: All three levels are fully ADA compliant with wide elevator access, smooth ramps, and designated indoor stroller parking bays. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Dedicated private nursing rooms with comfortable armchairs, electrical outlets, and changing stations located on the second and third floors. • Age Suitability: Engineered for children ages 0 to 12, featuring specialized soft-play sensory zones for infants and toddlers in Toddler Town. • Sensory Tips: Hands-on exhibits can feature excited children and ambient chatter; the museum provides sensory calm kits with noise-canceling headphones at guest services.
