Las Vegas Natural History Museum

Again, Las Vegas is always surprising me with it's little hidden gems. Of course, compared to major cities, my expectations for museums are quite tapered but I think the LVNHM holds its own.Came here as a chaperone with my children's kinder field trip and 2.5 hours is a good amount of time for everyone to have their fill of history and play. There were some exhibits with impressive animatronics and technology which I appreciated. There were also quite a few live animals and creatures such as fish, scorpions, snakes, amongst others. It's definitely a nice visit for locals looking for interesting and new things to do with their children (I'd say aged 10 and under). I definitely learned something new and enjoyed the exhibit that showed the various ecosystems around the world.

Dad wasn't impressed with the strip so we came here to check it out.It got prehistoric mammals, neanderthal, egyptian farmer and king tut, dinosaurs, aquarium and sand play station, activities, ecological system, quake, feeding dino, playing hide n seek with dino lol, rainforest and more!I enjoyed it!

Very relaxing and interesting, what I liked about?It was downstairs you could go in and watch the paleontologist.Do their work and aska lot of questions?The man down there is very knowledgeable

Almost 14 years of living in Vegas- and I haven't heard about this museum. I feel ashamed...Good thing I have children now- so I can educate myself Wonderful museum, next to Neon Museum, north of downtown. We arrived around 10 am on Tuesday. There were couple of groups of students. But overall wasn't very busy. A lot of very interesting artifacts, games for kids, my son, who is not even 3 yet- was very engaged with everything. We decided to celebrate his birthday there. They do have birthday celebrations there. And it's very reasonably priced. I spoke to Rosa at the front desk, she was so helpful and lovely. Will update more after our birthday party. But so far- can't wait to go back. I loved it!

My husband and i visited on a saturday morning and were pleasantly surprised of how wonderful and extensive the display's are. I absolutely loved the animal display and the amazing artifacts and fossils. I highly recommend a visit with kids or not its great for everyone. Thr prices are fair and locals get a discount, parking is plentiful and they have a cute little souvenir shop as well.

Good place to take your kids and family to get away from all the gambling and alcohol on the Las Vegas Strip! It is quite educational and fun, kids, teenagers and adults can enjoy it together. All indoor activities and away from the summer heat or winter cold.

Took a short family trip to Las Vegas, first stop on the list was the Natural History Museum. There is limited parking in front but it's free. Reserved tickets online for $12 each,for children under 12 years, tickets are $6. Show the QR code at the front desk and your in. This museum offered more than I expected. There are multiple exhibits, including Africa, dinosaurs, Egypt, science/technology and a small gift shop. Each section had its own level of interactive learning. There's not many historic artifacts but each room told a story that was easy to follow. Such great family fun.

The staff is so nice. The perfect time to go is about an hour before they close when it is quiet. Perfect way to get out of the heat. After walking around stop in the gift shop down stairs for. Pressed Penny. Also bonus if you have kids go to the park in the back for some fresh air. The museum is clean and well organized.

Searched on old reliable (Yelp) for a fun activity to do w/ the kids today & came across the Natural History Museum. This museum is a gem w/ 2 stories of exhibits to look at featuring life-size realistic animals & fun facts. There are also interactive activities for kids & adults. Our faves included the King Tut/Egyptian exhibit, as well as the sealife one w/ fish, sharks & the cutest little axolotl. This is a great way to kill an hour or two, bonus points that it's educational on top of being fun :) I recommend this museum for both tourists & locals!

Excellent museum for the price. Many animal exhibits and the King Tut display was great. Some history of the dawn of man and the dino era.We really enjoyed it, worth a visit.
