The Discovery Children’s Museum in downtown Las Vegas celebrated its birthday Sunday with special activities and art projects, cupcakes, balloons and special guest appearances.
Mayor Carolyn Goodman presented a proclamation declaring Sept. 9 as the first-ever “Citywide Day of Play” in honor of the museum’s fifth birthday.
The museum says it has seen more than 1 million visitors since opening its doors in March 2013. It is a private, nonprofit educational institution.
