If you are planning a family vacation to Las Vegas or wondering if Las Vegas is a place to visit with your kids, I hope this article helps you make an easier decision.
I visit Las Vegas with my two children regularly and here are our top 10 family-oriented attractions:
#1 The ADVENTUREDOME at Circus Circus
Perfect place for families for a reasonable price. You can get the All Day Pass for just $24.95 (check 2-1 coupons before you go). The Adventuredome offers something for all ages. From toddler rides to ultra thrilling rides for bigger kids and adults. Test your skills on the midway, play a round of golf, climb the wall or enjoy the 3D rides.
#2 GAMEWORKS next to the MGM Grand
Every member of your family will find something to do in this multi-million dollar arcade. They have state of the art games for kids ages 4 and up. Gameworks offers specials every day. Right now you can play All Day and All Night for only $35.00. If you are hungry, they have their own restaurant with a large menu selection and reasonable prices.
#3 MADAME TUSSAUDS WAX MUSEUM at the Venetian
What better way to spend an afternoon or evening than posing for photos with Johnny Depp, golfing with Tiger Woods, motorcycle riding with Evel Knievel, drumming with the Blue Man Group and more. Let your imagination take you to the world of the rich and famous. Your whole family will have hours of fun.
#4 SECRET GARDEN and DOLPHIN HABITAT at the Mirage
You can spend hours watching Atlantic bottlenose dolphins playing and swimming. It’s so relaxing and peaceful. Head to the Secret Garden and learn about white tigers, white lions, leopards, and panthers.
#5 SHARK REEF at Mandalay Bay
Transform yourself into an underwater adventure filled with dangerous predators, colorful exotic fish, sea turtles, and other underwater creatures. Kids will love touching some of them in the Touch Pool under the watchful eye of an expert. Shark Reef is home to more than 2,000 animals.
#6 CHILDREN’S MUSEUM LIAR DISCOVERY
Great place for the whole family away from the hustle and bustle of the strip. Lots of hands-on, interactive exhibits, from toddlers to adults. Family fun guaranteed.
#7 SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS 4D RIDE & MIDWAY on the Excalibur
Visit the Fantasy Fair inside the Excalibur and join SpongeBob for an adventure to Bikini Bottom. At the exit try your luck and win prizes in many carnival games.
#8 The SELF-COLLECTION in the Imperial Palace
Spend the afternoon admiring the world’s largest classic car showroom. Inside the Imperial Palace you will find a collection of more than 250 cars. You will need a couple of hours to go through all the exhibits.
#9 LAS VEGAS CYBER SPEEDWAY in the Sahara
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be a Nascar driver, you can get pretty close with the simulators at Cyber Speedway. You can choose between automatic or stick shift while reaching a speed of 220 mph. Challenge your family or friends to compete against you.
#10 The OFFICIAL BASKETBALL HALL OF FAME EXHIBIT at Planet Hollywood
This is a new attraction in Las Vegas. Open for a limited time only. Do not miss it.
