Fun for Local Las Vegas Kids
Having fun! You’ll find fun activities on Kids in Vegas the other Vegas Sites don’t or won’t list. And we go way past the typical Hotel and Casino attractions. Why? Because Kids in Vegas really is about what to do with kids in Las Vegas. So we choose to let you in on some of the fun activities you won’t find on other Las Vegas Websites.

Red Rock Canyon Natural Conservation Area
Red Rock Canyon Interpretive Association maintains a nice website where you can learn about all the activities in this area. Located about 17 miles west of “The Strip” and encompassing 197,000 acres within the Mojave Desert Red Rock Canyon is an excellent afternoon day trip in the cooler months. Red Rock Canyon features a one-way 13 mile scenic drive, a Visitor Center, and plenty of photo opportunities. Pets are allowed only in designated areas and MUST be on a leash. Bicycling is allowed ONLY on the Scenic Drive, Paved Roads and those trails that are specifically designated.
Las Vegas Indoor Soccer
Las Vegas Indoor Soccer offers more than just soccer. Youth programs including Mini Hoops, Dodge ball, Tennis, Baseball, parties and more for boys and girls. They even offer Adult League play for Adults.
Sunset Park
Looking for someplace to let the kids get out and run and play away from the hustle and bustle (Not to mention) concrete on The Strip? Sunset Park may just be your answer. Well known to the Locals in Henderson/Green Valley Sunset Park is a popular destination for picnics and play. The park features picnic areas with barbecues, dog runs, baseball fields, basketball courts and eight outdoor lighted tennis courts. There is also a fishing pond for the kids stocked with a variety of fish depending on the time of year. You’ll find Sunset Park at 2601 East Sunset Road at the corner of Sunset/Eastern. The easiest way to find the park is to head South on Las Vegas Blvd, turn East on Sunset to Eastern. Sunset Blvd Parallels McCarran International Airport, and the park is right across from the Airport on the South East Corner. PS: It’s okay to feed the Geese and Ducks Bread – they seem to love it 
Lied Discovery Children’s Museum
The Lied Discovery Children’s Museum features hands-on exhibits in the arts, sciences, nature, music and humanities; a Traveling Exhibition Gallery; an Early Childhood Pavilion and an eight-story Science Tower in 22,000 square feet of exhibit space. The mission of Lied Discovery Children’s Museum is to provide a vibrant and engaging environment, through exhibits and programs, where children and families from economically and culturally diverse backgrounds actively participate in playful learning environments!
Marjorie Barrick Museum UNLV
The Marjorie Barrick Museum located on the UNLV Campus at 4505 Maryland Parkway (702-895-3381) features a display of Native American Culture including Pre-Columbian Latin America jewelry, basketry, and pottery. But the real attraction for the children is the Snakes and Creepy Crawlers Interactive Exhibit. Yes it’s not likely that a family on vacation will take the time to stop by, but for the locals this may be a nice afternoon away from home. More like a school field trip experience than an attraction, but we’ll let you decide if it’s for you.
Las Vegas Zoo
The Southern Nevada Zoological-Botanical Park (a.k.a. Las Vegas Zoo) is managed by the non-profit Nevada Zoological Foundation. The shady 3-acre park is located just 15 minutes northwest of the Las Vegas Strip. The zoo exhibits over 150 species of plants and animals.
