The Las Vegas Science Museum Holidays event invites the community to celebrate the season through culture, creativity, and science. Beginning November 28, 2025, the museum’s annual exhibition, A December to Remember, will fill every corner with festive traditions, performances, and hands-on activities for all ages.
A Season of Culture and Community
Running from November 28, 2025, through January 9, 2026, the Las Vegas Science Museum Holidays celebration transforms the museum into a vibrant winter wonderland. Visitors can explore how communities across Southern Nevada—and around the world—celebrate the season.
