OUR VISION

We champion collaboration that inspires every child to become an innovative thinker through the joy and wonder of hands-on DISCOVERY.

We believe children’s museums are unique community institutions where:

• Children are valued citizens with the right to developmentally appropriate and high-quality learning experiences.


• Play is learning, and it is critical to the healthy social, emotional, and cognitive development of children.


• Family, culture, environment, and society are recognized as critical factors in all children’s lives to effectively serve them.


• Pursuing equity and inclusion is a best practice that reflects a commitment to serving all children and families and advancing the growth of our field.

OUR MISSION

DISCOVERY Children’s Museum is a nonprofit organization offering a one-of-a-kind experience to families in Southern Nevada and from all over the world. For over 30 years, DISCOVERY has put children’s needs for play, exploration, inspiration, belonging, and unique learning experiences above all else.

The mission of DISCOVERY Children’s Museum is to foster a welcoming, vibrant, and inclusive environment where all are invited to engage in playful and educational experiences that ignite a lifelong love of learning. As a premier educational partner in the community, DISCOVERY champions collaboration that inspires every child to become an innovative thinker through the joy and wonder of hands-on DISCOVERY.
