7 must-see Attractions in Las Vegas with Kids
1. DISCOVERY Children’s Museum
Just north of the Las Vegas Strip, you will find this museum that promises delightful indulgences to your kids and delivers exactly that. There are a lot of activities your kids can engage in here, including amazing art and craft projects, climbing structures, the DISCOVERY lab, and water sports. Most of the fun activities here are educational as well.
2. Watch the Blue Man Group show
The blue man group show is perhaps the most talented in the world. They have been hosting shows in Las Vegas for a long time and each time they come up with unique ideas that leave their audience in awe. Their acts include color, light, and sound using a variety of musical instruments such as drums, trombones, and others. The 3 man group is world-renowned for their bizarre but brilliant acts.
3. Visit Marvel’s Avenger STATION
Your kids will enjoy watching full-sized creations of their favorite superheroes. There are interactive exhibits on display and a lot of memorabilia on these superheroes. They get to learn the behind-the-scenes of what it takes to create an Avengers movie. They are
also allowed to touch, photograph, or even wear some of these costumes they have seen in these movies.
4. Go Skydiving indoors
The thought of skydiving from a plane scares most people. However, if you still want to experience the thrill in a controlled and safe environment, you can head to the Las Vegas strip at the Vegas Indoor Skydiving location. A 1,000 horsepower motor will keep you floating in the air and free-falling at speeds up to 120 miles per hour. There are safety nets and protective clothing to keep you safe throughout the whole session. You can book tickets online for this experience.
5. Visit the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay
This is probably the world’s largest exhibition of marine life. There are over 2,000 different marine animals on display here. The name comes from the large collection of over 14 species of sharks and other sea predators. You get to walk through a tunnel and experience this spectator in every angle possible. Your kids are allowed to touch different types of marine life (crabs, stingrays among others) at a different section of the bay.
6. Visit the Ethel Chocolate factory
Kids love chocolate and a trip to this factory will be a fulfilling one. This factory is located about 20 minutes from the Las Vegas strip. Your kids will get a chance to learn how chocolate is made. And take guided tours around while enjoying free samples.
7. The Adventuredome at Circus Circus
This is an amusement park that is the dream of every kid. They get the chance to take rides, go rock climbing indoors, bungee jumping, roller skating, arcade gaming, bowling, and many other activities. Most of these games are located indoors meaning that your kids get the chance to enjoy themselves with little regard to the weather or season.
Before moving to Arizona, I never considered visiting Las Vegas even though I have family there. Now that we live here, it’s a super easy and quick trip up north, which we try to take at least once a year. If you are struggling with what to do with your kids and how to travel with them, check out my post on that here. If you are thinking of taking a roadtrip to get to Las Vegas, I have a post on how to keep the kiddos entertained while traveling. You can find that post here.
