Discovery Children's Museum, Las Vegas

Discovery Children's Museum, located in Las Vegas, is a nonprofit organization focused on offering children from diverse backgrounds and abilities access to engaging and enjoyable educational experiences centered around STEAM subjects (science, technology, engineering, art, and math). Formerly known as Lied Discovery Children's Museum, this expansive facility spans 58,000 square feet and three floors. It now resides near The Smith Center in Downtown Las Vegas. The museum attracts approximately 250,000 visitors annually.

The primary goal of Discovery Children's Museum is to cultivate a welcoming, dynamic, and inclusive atmosphere, encouraging everyone to participate in playful and educational encounters that ignite a lifelong passion for learning.

Established in 1984 by Robin Greenspun and Mark Tratos, the museum was made possible through a collaboration between the Junior League of Las Vegas and the Allied Arts Council. Their joint efforts aimed to fund a much-needed nonprofit educational institution within the Las Vegas Valley. In 1985, a bond was issued to finance the construction of the Las Vegas-Clark County Library and Lied Discovery Children's Museum. Subsequently, on September 9, 1990, the museum proudly opened its doors to the public.
