Don’t miss the Happiest Day on Earth at DISCOVERY Children’s Museum, this Saturday, August 8th, from 10am-5pm.  Dress up in your favorite princess dresses or Disney character outfits and spend the happiest day creating mouse ears, listening to story time fairytales and going on a scavenger hunt for hidden mice.

It will feature ongoing activities such as Wand and Sword Design, Crown and Pendant Creations, a Hidden Mouse Scavenger Hunt and more!  In addition, children and families will have the opportunity to enjoy additional programming such as discovering the science behind animation and production, take a look into coding like WALL-E, a classic Disney story time and much more.

In addition, costumed characters from the Las Vegas Avengers Princess Squad will be on-site to interact with visitors and pose for photographs!  Wear your favorite Disney costume, or just make your own! An  Iconic Mouse Ear Workshop is also available. Let your creativity loose and design your own pair of magical mouse ears in our pop-up design lab!  The cost is $10 General Admission Guests, $5 Members.

You can also learn all about 3D printing.  Kids can select a sample model of their choice to print and take home! $6.00 General Admission or $3.00 Members. Recommended for ages 8 and up.  Last year my kids chose Superhero keychains on Superhero Day, and they still play with them.  3D Print Lab times are 10:30, 12:30 and 2:30pm.
