As with anything, it takes time and money. I've also read reviews about how there were signs not lit or without descriptions. Again, in talking with staff it costs thousands and takes significant time to restore these signs. While it's in Vegas, it's still a museum that relies on visitors and donations. It's no more expensive than the museums in Pittsburgh. We went at 9:45 and it was so worth it. I loved reading about the history of the signs and chatting with staff about them. Make sure to ask questions, as the staff are so knowledgeable.

Our kids loved all the interactive exhibits, especially the fossil dig, the moving sand table, and the hands-on play areas. There was plenty to keep them engaged, and they also enjoyed seeing the dinosaurs, marine life, and live animals throughout the museum. Admission: Around $15 for adults and $7 for children (ages 3-11). Kids 2 and under are free, making it an affordable family outing. Parking: Free parking is available, which was a huge plus. Tips: * Plan for about 2-3 hours to see everything. * The hands-on exhibits are the highlight, so allow extra time for those. * Great indoor activity, especially during the hot Las Vegas summer. The museum isn't huge, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5, but it's clean, well maintained, and offers a fun, educational experience for young children. We'd definitely recommend it to families visiting Las Vegas!

Perfect active fun for our energetic 2 and 3 year old boys!…read moreWe brought our toddlers to the DISCOVERY Children's Museum and they had an absolute blast. This place is a huge indoor playground with three floors of hands-on exhibits that kept them moving the whole time. They loved Toddler Town on the first floor the desert themed soft play, sensory elements, and crawl spaces were just right for their age. But the real highlight was The Summit, the giant 70-foot climbing structure that spans all three floors with 12 levels. I was surprised how well our 2 and 3 year olds handled it! They climbed the levels with no problem, exploring different challenges and interactive spots at their own pace. It was great to see their confidence grow as they went up and down. They also enjoyed the water play area (smocks provided still recommend a change of clothes) and some of the imaginative play zones. We spent about 2.5-3 hours there, and it felt like the perfect energy-burner in air-conditioned comfort a lifesaver in Las Vegas! The museum is clean, the staff is friendly, and it's very stroller-friendly. Admission is $15 for Nevada locals with valid ID and $20 for non-locals (kids under 1 are free). We went on a weekday and it wasn't too crowded, which made chasing the boys around much easier. Helpful tip for families on a budget: If you have a valid EBT, SNAP, or WIC card, you can get admission for just $5 per person (up to 4 tickets per adult cardholder cards must be shown at entry for verification; in-person only). If you have active little ones who love to climb and explore, this is a fantastic spot. Highly recommend -- we'll definitely be back!

The museum is huge, with three floors packed with things for kids to do, including an indoor playground, water table, building centers, tons of toys, science activities, and really cute little business areas where kids can use their imagination and learn through play. I brought my 1-year-old, and she really enjoyed the water table, balls, and slides. However, I will say that there honestly wasn't a whole lot else that was age-appropriate for her. At 1 year old, she still needs a ticket, which I understand, but for us, I don't think we got the full value out of the visit because she was too young for many of the exhibits. Overall, it's a really cool museum with SO much to offer older kids. For our next visit, I think I would wait until she's around 5 so she can actually enjoy and participate in more of the activities. Definitely seems like a great place for preschool and elementary-aged kids!

Can't come up with something fresher with people who do not have mullets? After the movie you start your tour. During our tour we had two different guides, both were knowledgeable but had little personality.... Except the occasional high expected "dam tour" joke. Both talked very fast and were at times hard to understand. We had purchased the higher end tour for $40. With this smaller group tour you got a little deeper dive into the dam, including a walk down a tube where you could look out a vent in the actual exterior wall of the dam that overlooked the river below....that was cool! The museum was updated, which was very notable and appreciated. Lots of interactive displays that were all working. Best part of the tour was the dam itself. Great views! You can make your choice between 3 tours, or just skip ithem all and walk around and enjoy the views. The paid tours go from a cheaper "self guided" to a mid priced group tour, and a top choice which included a bit longer and deeper dive into the dam. All include a short movie and entrance to the museum.

We had so much fun getting pumped up by the dJ/MC and the Marching band and the cheer leaders and all the raffles and photo OPPs. Everyone was in the festive mood and dressed for the occasion. This fun supports the children's charity and a lot of people brought children's pjs to donate. If you haven't done this yet. Put it on your list of must dos this year. I recommend.

This year the kids sat on the back of the truck bed and enjoyed their hot chocolate looking at all the lights from a great view. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a festive activity. Also Motor Speedway has more going on than most people realize, depending on the season and events. There is the NASCAR Cup Series, Xfinity & Truck races. Drag racing at The Strip at LVMS. Dirt track racing (sprint cars, late models) Motorcycle & off-road events also Amateur and regional racing events. For seasonal events there is Glittering Lights (holiday drive-through light show) which is what we went to this evening. There is car shows & auto expos, Monster truck shows, Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) grounds that is nearby. Festivals, concerts, and large-scale events. There is something going on all the time.

She tells you their inspiration or where else they might have work in the world since she travels all over learning about these artists. Rikka answers all questions with ease and puts her own little funny / witty spin on the tour.
