The City of Lights provides great access to several museums that are fun and educational for adults and children.  The Lied Children’s Discovery Museum is located on Las Vegas Boulevard near the heart of the action.  Here you’ll find 22,000 sqft of exhibits exploring the arts, sciences, humanities and early childhood.  This is a great experience for parents and children as the museum encourages adult/child interaction through shared learning and discovery.

There are plenty of activities that will keep the kids happy for hours.  Many exhibits at the museum simulate experiential learning offering children a way to get firsthand experience about life.  There is an exhibit about adult life allowing a child to try out a job, earn a paycheck and deposit their money into a bank.  Another area helps children to understand what it may be like to become physically impaired.  The mission of the Lied Children’s Discovery Museum is:

to provide a vibrant and engaging environment, through exhibits and programs, where children and families from economically and culturally diverse backgrounds actively participate in playful learning environments

They are doing an excellent job!

You might also take some time out of your day to visit the Las Vegas Natural History Museum.  Located nearby to the Lied Museum, here you’ll find dinosaurs, fossils, marine life, nevada wildlife and even an Africa exhibit.  Children will enjoy one of the museum highlights - a 3,000 gallon feef tank with live sharks and stingrays!

Join in the family fun, visit a Las Vegas museum today!
