Homeschool Activities in Las Vegas at DISCOVERY Children’s Museum

Homeschool Activities That Support Your Curriculum

Homeschool parents wear every hat: teacher, curriculum planner, and field-trip coordinator. DISCOVERY is designed to support all three. Our exhibits are aligned with the Nevada State Content Standards, Common Core, and Next Generation Science Standards, so the concepts your children explore here reinforce the lessons on your syllabus instead of pulling away from them.

Children move through hands-on stations that turn abstract ideas into something they can build, test, and observe. That kind of experiential learning sticks, and it gives you a living extension of your lesson plans that is difficult to recreate at the kitchen table.

• Curriculum-aligned exhibits that map to standards you already teach
• Hands-on STEAM learning designed for children ages 3 to 12
• A flexible environment for multi-age families and mixed-grade co-ops
• Real-world context for science, art, engineering, and early literacy

Memberships: Ideal for Repeat Homeschool Visits

If DISCOVERY becomes part of your homeschool routine, a membership quickly pays for itself. Homeschool families are among our most frequent visitors, and a membership turns the museum into an anytime learning space your children can return to again and again throughout the school year.

Weekday Learning That Fits Your Schedule

One of the biggest advantages of homeschooling is flexibility, and a weekday visit to DISCOVERY takes full advantage of it. Weekday mornings and early afternoons are our calmest hours, which means shorter lines, more room at each exhibit, and more time for your children to explore at their own pace.

DISCOVERY is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10am to 5pm and Sunday from 12pm to 5pm, with select Monday openings during holidays and school breaks. Check our Calendar of Events for homeschool-friendly programs, workshops, and seasonal activities throughout the year.

Nine Galleries of Hands-On STEAM Exhibits

DISCOVERY features nine galleries filled with hands-on, interactive STEAM exhibits that are so much fun children do not realize how much they are learning. From water science and building challenges to art, early-childhood play, and real-world role play, every gallery invites the kind of open-ended exploration that fuels curiosity-driven homeschool learning.

Browse the full lineup of hands-on exhibits before you visit so you can connect each gallery to your current units and set learning goals for the day.

Curriculum Resources & At-Home Learning

The learning does not have to stop when you leave. Our At-Home DISCOVERIES resources give homeschool families activities, experiments, and project ideas you can run at home, making it easy to extend a single museum visit into a full week of themed learning.

Pair a visit with our at-home activities to build a complete unit around one concept, from hypothesis to hands-on build to reflection.
