Lied Discovery Children’s Museum

Unless you let your kids play craps, blackjack, or bet on their video games, then you probably have avoided Las Vegas as one of your family hotspots for vacation. But just because Vegas doesn’t have an honored mouse running around with all of his little friends in the kingdom doesn’t mean you should ignore what the beautiful desert city has to offer families like yours or mine. Sure, when you think of the City of Sin and their “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” motto, you aren’t thinking of children’s activities. But one of the greatest places families can go in the sandy, lit up strip of Nevada is the Lied Discovery Children’s Museum.

With over 22,000 square feet of exhibits, your kids will get to enjoy a hands-on experience as they learn about art, science, humanities and early childhood. There are currently 100 permanent exhibits kids can interact and learn while having fun at the same time. And to keep things more interesting, and families coming back year after year, of course, is by offering a rolling schedule of temporary featured exhibits, such as Clifford and Grossology: The (Impolite) Science of the Human Body to get the kids’ imaginations moving. You know how kids love to learn about yucky stuff. And the best part is they can touch everything in the museum, which will keep them more interested than if they were in a more formal learning environment that represents a cold funeral home. In addition to the wide array of exhibits for the little ones to get their hand son, there are also several educational programs to keep the learning process going.

Another important feature is the price it costs to get in. With all the fun and interactive education you and your children will get, you would think it should cost more than the $7-8 admission fee, right? And at a time when vacation budgets are being cut, it is important to get the most bang for your buck. So next time you are near the town of secrecy, feel comfortable knowing that there are places like this you can take the kids to for some pure, clean fun. And who knows, you might just end up having a great time with them!
