The Lied Discovery Children's Museum (LDCM) is a 22,000-square-foot (2,000 m2) facility located in Las Vegas, Nevada. The museum is located across Las Vegas Boulevard from the Las Vegas Natural History Museum. The LDCM shares its building with the Las Vegas Library branch of the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District and offers over 100 hands-on exhibits.
Since opening to the public in September 1990, Lied Discovery
Children’s Museum has established itself as an important community
resource, becoming one of the metropolitan area’s major educational
institutions serving children and families. To date, more than 1.6
million people have visited the Museum and more than 400,000 children
have participated in school field trip programs designed to supplement
the curriculum in innovative ways.
The participatory nature of the Museum’s exhibits and programs
encourages interaction between child and adult, providing an opportunity
for them to share a special learning experience through the joy of
discovery. The Museum is centrally located for easy access from all
areas of Las Vegas, and is committed to serving children and families
from economically and culturally diverse backgrounds.
