The Las Vegas Science & Natural History Museum is rolling out a dynamic fall 2025 calendar designed to engage learners of all ages. Timed perfectly for back-to-school season, the schedule blends hands-on STEM exploration with cultural and historical immersion. From weekend family workshops to immersive field trips, the museum aims to inspire curiosity, creativity, and connection with the natural world.
Diverse programs for every age group
This fall’s programming lineup delivers variety and depth. In August, visitors can dive into workshops highlighting how plants and animals adapt to their environments and interact with people. Weekend events like the “Monstera Magic” paint party, the museum scavenger hunt, and “Paws & Pages” animal care sessions create an interactive learning environment. Young explorers can also uncover fossils and ancient plant life during PaleobotanyPrints.
September and October spotlight cultural heritage, with a strong emphasis on Hispanic Heritage Month. Activities include pufferfish paper mâché crafting, a Native Habitat workshop, piñata making, and an ‘Ojos de Dios’ ornament workshop. Families can enjoy the full Hispanic Heritage Month celebration on September 14, featuring music, art, and storytelling.
Expanding access to science and culture
Beyond weekend workshops, the Las Vegas Science & Natural History Museum provides a robust slate of educational opportunities year-round. Field trips offer immersive, curriculum-based learning, while outreach programs bring science directly into classrooms. Digital resources extend the museum’s reach, ensuring students and educators can engage regardless of location.
Private tours can also be customized for school groups, clubs, and organizations, making it a flexible venue for experiential education. The museum’s commitment to bilingual accessibility includes Spanish-speaking staff for events and interviews, reinforcing its role as a cultural hub for the entire community.
A landmark with global connections
For over three decades, the Las Vegas Science & Natural History Museum has been a cornerstone of education and cultural appreciation in Southern Nevada. As a Smithsonian Affiliate and an accredited member of the American Alliance of Museums, it connects visitors to a global network of artifacts, research, and expertise. Its role as a federal and state fossil and artifact repository underscores its dedication to preservation and public access.
From the desert to the ocean, from prehistoric discoveries to modern conservation, each exhibit tells a story of life’s complexity and beauty. This fall’s events continue that legacy, offering the public new ways to engage with both science and history.
