When most people think of Vegas, kid-friendly are not exactly the first words that come to mind. Sin City is known as America's playground. However, it is often overlooked that Las Vegas has a plethora of family activities to choose from. Just because you have young ones traveling with you doesn't mean you have to limit your activities. Read on for all of the family-friendly things to do in Las Vegas.
Marvel Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N.
If you have kiddos that are super into The Avengers, you have to check out the Marvel Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. at Treasure Island. The Marvel Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. is a completely immersive and educational experience that brings fans of all ages into the world of The Avengers. Check out real movie memorabilia, like costumes worn by the cast and the Iron Man suits through the years. Plus, you can take a ride on the wild side and check out Captain America's motorcycle from Winter Soldier. There are plenty of buttons to push, knobs to turn and games to play that will test your super abilities. This is a self-guided tour so there is no rush. Take some time to experience all of the interactive setups and games. This place is great for families traveling to Las Vegas as it is suitable for all ages. When I experienced my Avengers training for the first time, I felt fully equipped to fight off the forces of evil!
The Hunger Games: The Exhibition
Another Exhibit Las Vegas offers for families traveling to the Las Vegas Strip is The Hunger Games: The Exhibition. As a true Hunger Games fan, this interactive exhibit was just what I needed. And yeah sure, I did discover that if I was living in the Hunger Game world, I probably wouldn't survive it, but Effie and I would for sure be BFF's! This tour is slightly self-guided and slightly staff-guided. The staff does do a great job of touring you and explaining each room scene they have set up for those who may not be familiar with the series. They pick out some iconic scenes such as the train ride to The Capital, the Reaping stage, and President Snow's office. With a ticket to The Hunger Games Exhibition, you will also receive a prime bow and arrow training and have an opportunity to shoot in a simulated battle.
The VOID at Grand Canal Shoppes - The Venetian | The Palazzo
If you have some kids that are into technology, The Void in Las Vegas is a virtual reality experience that shouldn't be missed as it is the most immersive virtual experience ever. It offers families the ability to travel into their favorite movie, video game or adventure. This immersive experience allows you to smell, touch and see the impossible, offering scenes from Jumanji, The Avengers, and Star Wars (to name a few). Everyone in the family can find something for them.
Museum of Selfies
The selfie has taken over and Las Vegas is here for it! The Museum of Selfies has recently opened up shop in Planet Hollywood. Have fun with immersive installations, such as their emoji pool, optical illusion bathroom and the ever famous upside-down room. This is great for any age, whether you're into selfies or not. Not selfie savvy? No problem. The rooms are just as fun to experience without a camera!
Hershey's Chocolate World Las Vegas
We’re not in Pennsylvania anymore. Hershey World has come to Las Vegas and you can fix all of your chocolate cravings in one stop. Visit the sweetest shop on the Las Vegas Strip and shop over 800 Hershey’s chocolates and candies. Check out their iconic features, including the Statue of Liberty made out of 800lbs of Hershey chocolate, and create your very own custom chocolate bars. A perfect place for the whole family to go and explore this two-story flagship store.
The Linq Promenade
The Linq promenade has been a top spot for families to visit while trekking up and down the Las Vegas strip. You can see where it is by the big observation wheel that sits at the very back of the shopping district. This is a cheery spot known for its rotating experiences such as the High Roller, VR Adventures and the Fantasy Dome. Enjoy tons of unique shops and experiences while surrounded by indulging restaurants that are at family-friendly pricing.
Axe Monkeys - Indoor Axe Throwing
If you're looking to go off the strip, I highly recommend heading down to Axe Monkeys Indoor Axe Throwing. Axe throwing isn’t just for lumberjacks, but rather modern exciting fun for the whole family. Experience the joy of axe throwing against your friends and family. Receive professional axe training and then enjoy up to 2 hours of throwing, supervised of course! If axe throwing isn't your forte, then maybe you’d rather just let out some built-up anger. Come and thrash around in their smash therapy rage room!
These are just a few options to explore when in Vegas with kids. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by billboards aplenty with a variety of options for your family to check out. Safe travels and check back soon for more Las Vegas guides!
