Discovery Children’s Museum
Symphony Park’s hands-on children’s museum — the only dedicated children’s museum in Southern Nevada, founded 1984.
Discovery Children’s Museum: Symphony Park’s Hands-On Learning Anchor
Robin Greenspun and Mark Tratos founded the Discovery Children’s Museum in 1984, and the museum opened its doors to the public on September 9, 1990. In March 2013 it relocated to a purpose-built building at 360 Promenade Place in Symphony Park, adjacent to The Smith Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Las Vegas. The Discovery Children’s Museum remains the valley’s flagship children’s museum and a regular field-trip destination for Clark County School District elementary classes.
The museum carries permanent and rotating exhibitions across science, technology, art, and creativity, with hands-on learning installations designed for early-childhood through pre-teen visitors. The Yelp page carries 711 verified reviews — among the highest review counts of any nonprofit cultural institution in the Las Vegas Valley.
