“hands on learning and fun!”

The Terry Lee Wells Nevada Discovery Museum (The Discovery) is a hands-on museum dedicated to inspiring lifelong learning in science, technology, engineering, art, math, and the world around us. At The Discovery, you can travel between the past and the future, without any effort at all. We have 67,000 square feet of science, art, history, construction, destruction, live performances and extinct animals. We’ve got The Shop, Spark!Lab Smithsonian, Da Vinci’s Corner, the Cloud Climber, an 80-foot-long river, a gallery where it’s nighttime all day long, and a whole bunch more hands-on things to see and do.
