Off-Strip Vegas Family Fun

Off-Strip Vegas Family Fun

Discovery Children's Museum

This is a family favorite in my home. With a great mix of traveling exhibitions & ongoing ones there is always something new to discover. Children will learn about science, art, music and more all while playing and having fun. This multi-story interactive museum will keep you busy all day but the memories and the growth will last your child a lifetime.

Las Vegas Mini Gran Prix

Go-Karts, amusement rides, arcade games & pizza! The perfect recipe for a perfect day. But why should the kids have all the fun? Las Vegas Mini Gran Prix also has go-karts big enough for the parents to ride doubles with their little ones. You can come here for lunch, purchase some ride tickets and have a family fun day no one will soon forget.

There's nothing I like more then when my kids have fun while learning. The Las Vegas Natural History Museum guarantees that every time. Children can explore a variety of topics from geology to dinosaurs to marine life. Check the website's calendar for fun activities like shark feedings and events such as Critter Connections where you can get up close and personal with some of the museum's animals.

Bonnie Springs

Just 20 minutes outside of Vegas tucked away in the mountains is the quaint Bonnie Springs. Time travel back into the days of the Old West in this real life mining town! You can experience real Cowboys having shootouts, then take a stroll over to the petting zoo where you can feed the animals and walk the shops where you'll find everything from food to toys. After all your fun you can grab some dinner fit for a Cowboy at the ole' restaurant.

The Container Park

This one-of-a-kind play area was constructed of 43 re-purposed shipping containers and 41 locally manufactured Xtreme cubes. It includes a tree house play area the kids will go crazy over with a 33 foot tall slide, an interactive NEOS play system and huge foam building blocks. While the kiddos are having a blast in the gated play area mom & dad can visit the boutique shops that line the playground for a little shopping and grab a meal at one of the many dining options. Make sure to check the website's calendar for some of the live events that they have through out the year.

The Las Vegas Ice Center

Living in Vegas the little ones don't get to see ice very often but the cool thing is they can skate year round at the Las Vegas Ice Center. They offer public skating, hockey lessons and figure skating lessons all at reasonable prices.
