From its world-class entertainment to neon casinos and bustling city streets, Las Vegas is one of the most famous cities on Earth. With incredible attractions around every corner, it\u2019s not hard to find something exciting to do in Sin City. But what about activities that everyone in the family will enjoy?<\/span><\/p>\n

While Vegas may not be the first place that comes to mind when brainstorming family-friendly destinations, finding fun activities for the kiddos is easier than you\u2019d think! Whether your child loves to swim, go on scavenger hunts, or is obsessed with heavy machinery, these 10 Vegas experiences are fun for the whole family!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. DIG IN A MINI EXCAVATOR<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If your child loves to play with construction toys, then this <\/span>Kids Dig Excavator Experience<\/span><\/a> is a Vegas must-do! Upon arrival, your kiddo will get to sit on and maneuver a stationary, 1-ton Caterpillar excavator. They\u2019ll feel like they\u2019re playing in a giant sandbox as they dig, scoop, and operate their real-life heavy machinery. Children as young as 2 can join in on the fun, and if they\u2019re 5 years old or older, they can handle the joystick-style controls all by themselves! For the older kids, you won\u2019t want to miss this wildly fun <\/span>Mini Excavator Experience<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. SPLASH INTO AN EPIC SWIMMING POOL<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Who doesn\u2019t love spending time at the pool? We know we do! Lucky for us, Vegas is home to some of the world\u2019s coolest and most elaborate swimming pools. While you relax in the sun, your kids will have an absolute blast swimming, playing, and splashing in the water. For a truly unique pool experience, consider visiting The Tank at the Golden Nugget casino. This beautiful pool neighbors a 200,000-gallon tank filled with fish, sharks, and other sea creatures. They even have a thrilling water slide that safely passes through the shark-infested tank!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. DISCOVER THE MAGIC OF EXCALIBUR<\/strong><\/h4>\n

With its massive castle-like towers and medieval theme, The Excalibur is one of the most eye-catching casinos on the strip. Step inside and your child will be transported into a world of knights, wizards, kings, and queens. Venture down into the Fun Dungeon, the casinos family-friendly arcade, and choose from over 200 games to play. Or, watch knights joust on horseback during the Tournament of Kings show.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4. EMBARK ON A SCAVENGER HUNT<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Your family will love walking the strip while completing this interactive <\/span>outdoor scavenger hunt<\/span><\/a>! After downloading the hunt to your smart device, you\u2019ll follow clues, solve riddles, and visit some of the city\u2019s most iconic sights.

This app-led hunt can be paused whenever you want, allowing you and your family to explore at your own pace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5. SOAR OVER THE STRIP<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Watch your kiddo\u2019s eyes light up as you put on headsets and lift off the ground in a luxurious helicopter. Choose to fly over the sparkling neon signs of Las Vegas or embark on a thrilling ride over the Grand Canyon. No matter which flight you choose, your high-flying day is sure to be out of this world! For the ultimate adventure, check out this <\/span>Grand Canyon and Vegas Strip Helicopter Tour<\/span><\/a>. You\u2019ll see the very best of the strip before leaving the city limits.

6. EXPERIENCE THE ADVENTUREDOME<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Whether you\u2019re looking to take the bumper cars for a spin or play a round of mini golf, the Adventuredome will keep your family entertained all day long! Located within the Circus Circus hotel and casino, this indoor amusement park features 5 acres of rides and attractions.

7. ATTEND A WORLD-FAMOUS SHOW<\/strong><\/h4>\n

There\u2019s a reason why Vegas is also known as the Entertainment Capital of the World. From gravity-defying acrobatics to mind-boggling magicians, the whole family can enjoy world-class shows in Vegas! One of our favorite shows is the incredible Myst\u00e8re by Cirque du Soleil. Performed in a custom theatre at the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino, this show is known for its colorful sets, vibrant costumes, and talented performers. Your kiddos won\u2019t believe their eyes as acrobats and dancers fly gracefully through the air.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

8. FLOAT IN A HOT AIR BALLOON<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n

9. INDULGE THEIR SWEET TOOTH<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We think it\u2019s safe to say that most kids love sweets. Home to some of America\u2019s tastiest treats, Las Vegas is the perfect place to treat their taste buds! Design your own colorful candies at M&M\u2019S World or see a chocolate replica of the Statue of Liberty inside Hershey\u2019s Chocolate World. If you and your family love milkshakes, then a visit to the world-famous Sugar Factory is a must! Known for their insane shakes, some of their most popular blends include full-sized lollipops, chocolate covered mugs, and even slices of NY style cheesecake!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

10. CHOOSE YOUR OWN FAMILY-FRIENDLY ADVENTURE<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n
