    Best children's museum I've ever been to and definitely worth the entrance fee! My 3-year-old had a blast. There's so many fun things to do, and each of them is secretly educational. :) I love that they have so many different things to learn about.... water, art, music, physics, inventions... Plus there's so much that involves creativity, including pretend play. We could have spent all day there! Pack a lunch so you can enjoy the place to its fullest! (but you ARE allowed to leave for lunch and come back, if you want)

    My family went here after 9 years of living in Las Vegas. Although my daughter isn't young anymore, she still managed to have fun as an 18-year old. She had this on her bucket list for quite some time and we figured it's probably time to go before heading off to college this year. I won't lie, some of the things in this place were very entertaining even to me, so it definitely wasn't a waste of time and/or money. If you have kids, I highly recommend you take your little ones here. It's inexpensive and there's multiple levels of fun!! I really enjoy how there are so many bathrooms available to the customers...compared to other establishments where there's only one stall for the entire facility. The whole venue is well organized and clean with plenty of options to disinfect and/or wash your hands. Thanks for the memorable experience!

    I’ve been to children museums across the nation and this is by far the best I’ve experienced. There are 3 floors for children to enjoy. Our favorite was the water lab. Kids are provided rain coats but beware of puddles. We took a 2 year old, 5 and 6 year old. There was tons for everyone. In addition to hands on play, there’s a thing that I would describe as an obstacle course, that kids can use to get to the different levels. Pro: great admission price, reasonable Lu priced gifts in the gift shop (some starting under $5), small snacks to purchase. Events throughout the month. Con: no on-site food and you can’t bring in outside food. This is understandable and probably helps keep the place as clean as it is.

    Discovery Children’s Museum is definitely a 5-star experience! The kids could’ve spent the whole day there if our family hadn’t left to get food! I Was alarmed at the price since it was our first visit, but I can easily say it was well worth it and we’ll be visiting again! All kids ages 3-10 found fun activities to occupy them for hours!

    Wow what a fun museum! First- parking is really easy to find around the museum. We did a garage across the street and it was $4 for the 2 hours or so we were there. Entrance has a metal detector and guard. Lots of windows to check in. Appreciated military being free thru Labor Day 2021. They are staffed very well. There are employees everywhere you turn. So they helped us take family photos and also keep an eye on all the adults and kids. They also ask us if we need help. Also available at a moments notice to answer questions. We felt really safe and it was a great experience. There’s so many different areas and stuff to look at. We liked the water feature on the first floor. Really clean facility. Overall awesome and can’t wait to go back again.

    We love coming to this museum. The water area is my daughter’s favorite area. It’s hard to even get her out of there. They have a grocery store area too which she loves too.

    This was a great place to spend a few hours and get my daughter out of the house without breaking the bank. If you provide a local ID your admission is discounted. There are so many hands on activities and play structures for children to indulge in. In the Eco City children can work various jobs and earn a paycheck which they can then cash at the bank. Once paid, the children can then use the money to shop at the grocery store. This area of the museum provides a realistic opportunity for children work, earn, and spend money. There was an amazing art center which was my daughters favorite space. In this area there are various crafting stations where children can cut, color, and construct a different piece of art at each table. We had an awesome time and had the art work she made were cute keep sakes to take home.

    We love the children's museum, but wish it had more climbing/slides for toddlers. The toddler area is lacking. Also more themed interactive setups, like from PBS kids shows(We loved when Sid the science kid came) or stuff from around the world. The kids love the town area, but it gets crowded. The water area is amazing, just need more/better raincoats. Overall a fun indoor family adventure, you can do/see everything in 2ish hours.

    My 15 month old had a great time, although there wasn’t a lot that he could reach/do by himself. It was $32 for my son and I, which I think is a little overpriced for my son’s entry. The water area was perfect for him though! All together, perfect for kids a little older and their parents, too. The bathroom on the first floor has a changing table that was perfect head height for my son which he ran into and gave him a little indent. So I may suggest a corner cover because that thing is sharp. Otherwise it was a great day spent

    Best children's museum I've ever visited! My 2.5 year old was riveted (and her parents and grandma had fun too). So much to explore, learn and enjoy. Hours and hours of fun. I love all the ways that the space engages young minds. We can't wait to come back the next time we're in town.

  • 5/5 Laura La R. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome place for younger children! My daughter loved all the cool trinkets and big jungle gym they had. There was a huge pirate ship and dress up clothes they can put on and a castle and a water area. She had so much fun climbing and sliding down all the slides. If you are local you get a cheaper rate of $13.50 instead of $15.50 or if you have an EBT card or WIC card you get a discounted price of $3 per tickets for up to 4 tickets. That’s what we did and paid only $9 for 3 of us. Definitely a great place to take the kids and they are amazing for working with people on the price!

    I have been taking my family here for years and this recent visit made it worthwhile. The place is so fun for the kids because of the learning experiences, playground and three floors of various activities offered.

    This place it absolutely amazing and my kid loved it. I saw kids from 1 to 12+ having a great time. There was way more to do than I expected and we spend hours here. I can't wait for my two yr old to be a little bit older as there are some really great learning exhibits. Definitely a place you can go multiple time that your kids will continually love!

    Great interactive experience for kids of all ages, our group of children had a great time. They have great selection of kids and toddlers science educational experiences, such as mechanical, sport, medicine, shopping and space sites. Kids really enjoyed the day. Highly recommend this museum for kids.

    We had a blast! There is truly something for every age here. I took my toddler and preschooler for about an hour and a half, but we definitely could have stayed 30-45min more. They clean frequently which is great since the whole museum is a super high touch environment.

    This was so much fun with our daughter. She loved it. Especially the huge gymnasium. That thing was so high and so many levels. It's amazing that it goes that high with so much to do. The water area was fun and refreshing, and the fantasy playground was adorable. The kids can make up plays and just pretend.

    This was a great activity for kids when we we’re looking for indoor, air conditioned options! We had visited the Hoover Dam a few days prior and the kids were excited to see a model of it in the Water World. They had a fantastic time playing on the pirate ship and in the castle in Fantasy Festival and playing in the different businesses in Eco City. Their creative juices were flowing in full force in the Patent Pending area as the competes against each other to see whose car drove faster and whose air-sail went further. The Summit is a 3+ story jungle gym type structure with slides and tunnels and little pockets of discovery and leaning throughout the whole thing. I would recommend skipping the stroller and just using a backpack/ baby carrier to bring along small siblings because The Summit meant we were going between levels frequently and you’ll want to follow them through The Summit vs. trying to keep up with them from outside it as they go up and down levels and out onto different floors. It is plenty big for parents to walk around inside and keep up with kids but you’ll have to park the stroller and leave it behind. If you’re traveling and are a member of a different Children’s museum, be sure you check to see if they have a reciprocal agreement with your museum for discount tickets.

    Excellent place for kids of all ages. I will say even for some young at heart adults :) If you are visiting Vegas with kids, then this has to be on your list. Kids can literally spend hours here. Lot of fun activities to do, and all the nerdy science experiments to perform. Overall day well spent.

    This is a very cool place for kids over 2 year old. Lots of areas to discover and play. The water world was very fun. My 2 year old didn't want to leave.

  • 4/5 Shearon D. 1 year ago on Google
    My grandkids are age 10 & 3 and they had a great time especially with the water. There is so much for the children to do and it's all hands on. They can be work on cars, fly airplane, talk sports, grocery shop, and learn about banking all in one place. Surprise to use Military is Free up to five all summer long.

    Great spot to spend time with your kids. This was my 3rd time here. The first 2 times were during the school year and it was packed with kids on field trips. Today was totally different! Barely anyone was here on this Monday! My 2 kids got to experience all the exhibits and areas without any interruption! It was fantastic. Got in right at 10 am and left around 12:30. It was a fun and educational day, plus it wore my energetic kids out. Make sure to park in the parking garage attached to the museum and bring your parking ticket in to get validated.

  • 5/5 Mama_ K. 2 years ago on Google
    Love, love, love this place. I don't know why I didn't bring my little one here sooner. My daughter had an amazing time! I am so glad we got an annual membership! There is so much to do here, I don't see how a toddler could ever get bored. 3 floors of endless possibilities! My daughter absolutely loved the education jungle gym (or whatever you want to call it) taking you up each level. The pirate ship has multiple levels (but is only on 1 floor) and even has a wheel chair lift to ensure no one is missing out on the fun! Every floor has so much to offer, I know there are things we didn't even get to, which is great because everytime we go it will be like a new experience. The water area, mining, arts and crafts, pretend zone... just a few fun places on the 1st floor. Moving up to the second floor the giant mouth where they can pretend to be a dentist, the nursery, the grocery store, Raiders stadium, bank and more. 3rd floor lots of cool invention stuff, but we didn't spend much time here as a certain someone needed lunch and a nap. You won't regret going here and I highly recommend getting an annual pass, especially if you have younger kids. Most activites like dance class you pay $65+/month for 1 hour/week, if it's not an off week. Depending on your membership you could be spending $85/year and can take you kid as much as you have time for. Yes, they validate parking!

  • 5/5 Chad F. 2 years ago on Google
    We spent half a day here mid trip so our 5 year old daughter could have something fun to do that was all about her (besides the typical on-strip activities). It ended up being a huge success as she had a great time here. There was enough left to do that we could've easily spent the whole day if we did everything she wanted to check out. Some of her highlights: 1) dress up / acting stage 2) water activity area 3) the climbing 3 story center section with activities throughout 4) the art area 4) the 'job' area where she pretended to be a mechanic, dentist, and pediatrician in separate themed play areas. The place was busy but its large enough that there's something for everyone to do and it never felt crowded. Only thing I wish is that people with pre-purchased tickets had an express line for entry. We had to wait (albeit not long, maybe 10-15 mins) in line with people who needed tickets still.

    Great place for birthday parties. Great party room space. You have to use their recommended caterers for food and cake. They provide bottled water and ice cream. It's really geared towards toddlers, kids 10+ might not enjoy it as much (my opinion)

    This place is awesome! Honestly, I don't know who loves it more, our 3 year old or us. There is so much to do and everything is so educational. Definitely check out the energy exhibit and the water area. Not to mention, the employees are super nice and strike up conversation with you just because. We will definitely be coming back!

    I'm not here because I want to be... But my kid enjoyed this place a ton. Here for about 2 hours. There were many different things for her to do/see/play with. Definitely worth checking out if you have kids and are visiting the area. Parking is free if you park in the structure. Half a mile away from Fremont Street as well. Staff were all very nice and inviting.

    A great place for young children! So many activities, from an exciting water fun room to a multi-storied facility for climbing, sliding, and exploring. There are many learning activity centers, too. Spend at least 2 hours here.

    My son loved this place, so much things to do and I was so excited when I saw this place be featured on Blippi! My son is addicted to Blippi so getting to see this in person was so freaking awesome!!! If you're visiting make sure to take your kiddos here!

    We got there really late and only had an hour to go thru the museum but it was great! My son has autism and is ten yrs old going on thirty😃... The staff was beyond friendly and helpful for the most part. Bathrooms were nice and clean. The security guy at the door was very polite. It's a wonderful experience for kids with sensory issues to help them thru situations. Very hands on stations with sound, air flows, pressure levels, slides, pirate ship, play stage and costumes, rock quarry, toddler stations, crafts section for both kids and a separate pretty much contained room for toddlers that wanna experience arts and crafts. Just a really fun place to go and experience and enjoy with your entire family. My son loved the water room where you can play around with the water and cause and effects wind causes. They have reduced rates to make it affordable to any and all who come by. You will most definitely get your money's worth, head on down there and enjoy

    This is the second time for my eldest who is four and the first time for my little one who is two. We came with friends to have fun for the children during their summer vacation. I was really pleasantly surprised by the compact place full of experiences for children in the fields of learning, creation, play, a perfect place for every boy and girl 🩵

  • 5/5 Farzin - Seyed L. 1 year ago on Google
    That’s an enjoyable place for kids, with different styles for different activities. It’s a safe place and very organized with the friend's staff. They are ready to help kids or parents, and if you lose your children, they can help to find them as soon as possible, so don’t worry; everything is safe. The price ticket seller is reasonable. We spent six hours in Javid, kids kids and lost there. It’s a good idea to buy a ticket online in advance and print it on your phone. You can show your song, and when you have access, you can go out. If something ever comes back again, call the whole day for only $16 per person. No matter how old you are

  • 5/5 Kawehi K. 2 years ago on Google
    This place was beyond amazing! So many different things for kids to do. Dress up, arts & crafts, water play and obstacle course that goes up many floors... just to name a few. It was our first time there and my family loved it and my kids didnt want to leave. Hand sanitzers is many places to make sure your hands can be clean often. Absolutely recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Suga N. 2 years ago on Google
    They have added more attractions, military can get in for free. Parking is $1 or $2 per hour depending if you are in the parking garage or lot. Even for the price I think it is worth it. Lots to do, lots of space

  • 5/5 Tasha C. 2 years ago on Google
    The discovery Childrens Museam is a delight for Smaller Children. They say all kids can play along and Have fun ( which is true to a degree). my Grandson is 5 yrs old & he's nearly 5ft tall & he was struggling in the lowered ceiling rooms Most of the displays & hands on gadgets were small for him . 2fr & 3ft children can have a blast . They have a water room & they provide slickers so the kiddos won't get too wet . They have a mechanic roller to roll under the Subaru & change the oil , Antifreeze . The have all sorts of Climbing Devices to Board the ship & u can have Sword fights with the Coup Pirates & the Capitan has a working wheel to keep the boat even so the crew can keep their footing . There's slides , there's a Glow room. Puppet show thats teaches us about the desert and the animals that live there , its very popular , free parking & very affordable. I highly Recommend this Discovery for children

  • 4/5 Donald A. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to let the kids let loose and get all their energy out. A lot of different stations for all different kinds of science and learning. They even had a Subaru exhibit to practice mechanics! There was also an arts and crafts area. The place seemed to be very clean and there are was staff everywhere keeping the place orderly and ensuring kids were with their parents. But some of the staff was not aware of their surroundings and would congregate in the middle of walkways or in the center play structure. I ended up having to tell them multiple times that they were in the way and should be courteous to the patrons. Other than some of the staff I love this place!!! *PS. It's free for military till Labor day!

  • 5/5 Kristin C. 9 months ago on Google
    So fun! My 3yo had a blast her. She loved all of the fun play areas, but especially the water room and center tower. We also loved that they offered a foster family discount. Highly recommend!

  • 4/5 Pamala B. 11 months ago on Google
    We took my 6 yr old out for his birthday and he had a blast. Admission was reasonably priced (even better with an NV resident discount). My lil dude really enjoyed the water exhibit and the wind exhibits the most. I like the huge play area in the center of the museum because it was large enough for adults and teens to participate with the little ones. We'll be back for another visit.

  • 4/5 Eric W. 10 months ago on Google
    A fun time is possible at the Children's Museum. It isn't too expensive and the kids enjoy it. I like that there is a lot of interactive areas. Be cautious in the water area as the floors and kids will get wet. There are activities for kids of all ages you just have to check all the different floors. Bring your camera and your kids then have fun.

  • 5/5 Clarissa J. 11 months ago on Google
    This was our first time going, I went to the original one when I was a little girl, when it was still at the public library. This experience was amazing to see how they have made it bigger and more educational and fun for all families. I definitely recommend this place. It is very fun. It’s great for all ages and they give you the option of having a membership so you can go all year round. If you do not choose to do the membership and you just wanna go for one day if your local it’s $13.50 as well for kids and just for me and my two boys was $40.50 . They also do have their own parking right next to them. If you take the ticket that you pull out inside with you when you go to the museum at the end of it you scan it and it is free. Also, they are closed on Mondays.

  • 5/5 Ivan D. 10 months ago on Google
    3 year old got in for free. This place is amazing! There are lots of things to do with your children. 3 floors with different activities. They have a toddler section in the bottom. A theater where kids can perform. My favorite was the water section. It's definitely a place to spend 2 to 4 hours. Kids didn't want to leave.

  • 5/5 Ariana E. 2 years ago on Google
    We reserved a birthday expedition for our 6-year-old and Angel was the sweetest host, with the most patience--especially for our last minute canceled guests, late ones, and our decision to leave a bit earlier than we said at first. The process was easy, they were responsive and attentive. While you're there you see plenty of staff walking around and making sure everyone is being safe. I love bringing my family here and would do the birthday expedition again. It's an affordable way to make someone's birthday a little more special and when you leave you get a snack and goody bag/toy which was a nice bonus. A lot of fun stuff for kids to play with and lots of things that spark imaginative and inner-child play. They recently added a dental exhibit, which was both fun and educational!

  • 5/5 Aric S. 1 year ago on Google
    Childrens museum was great! It is 3 stories and has something for kids of all ages. Our 1 year old absolutely loved the water portion of this and we made the mistake of doing this first. He was drenched after 5min. They have little raincoats but we let him explore as he was. The little mechanic portion was really neat but a little to big for our kiddo currently. The place us decently priced as well too. I think it was roughly 15 or 16 per person.

  • 4/5 Andrew C. 2 years ago on Google
    A really wonderful treat for our little kiddos! We brought an 8-year old and 15-month old and everyone had plenty to do. Water world, very cool interactive activities on all floors, even an open theatre with costumes for kids to create their own plays - your young ones will love it here! Can get a little cramped as the venue goes up instead of wide, but overall, we had an absolute blast!

  • 5/5 Barbara B. 2 years ago on Google
    Start on top floor & work down to water play station (you'll thank me later). Make sure to create stuff WITH your kids. Yes, take some pics, but this is not surf web time. The more interactive you are = the better memories will be made. FYI: there is a locals discount + local library has a pass for family of 4 = FREE admission!

  • 4/5 Kimberly F. 2 years ago on Google
    Expanding community with the awesome giving program. Kiddo really enjoyed the discovery experience.
