Las Vegas Natural History Museum

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!

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.

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.

We decided to come and check out this place out since my daughter has been asking to come here for almost a year since she had her field trip here. She couldn't wait to take us back to go and show us around and see all the exhibits. We were able to spend about 2 1/2 hours here and could've spent more time however, they were closing. Definitely a place to check out if you are a local.

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.

Fantastic museum for all ages and is well organized. I was looking for some culture and other things to do in Vegas other than the strip. This was a very affordable place to go to, and it was very well laid out. I specifically came here to see the shark feeding which I didn't know we had in the valley. The shark feeding is usually around noon or 2 p.m., but check the schedule online. These are small sharks and and not a huge spectacle. The speaker was very informative and fed the small sharks as she was speaking. The children were very polite and respectful of the animals and were allowed to ask questions afterwards. It was quite wholesome.

There were different areas to explore like insects, dinosaurs and fish. The Egyptian section had artifacts donated by Luxor as they are aiming away from displaying cultural items in the hotel/casino. Be sure to check out the souvenir shop downstairs as there are cool crystals mined from Nevada. The lady there was very helpful and I think museums are a great way to learn about your state and some history. It's not a giant museum, but I appreciate how clean and organized it was. Please support local attractions such as these. I think it's worth while for all ages.

Nice spot that is kid friendly
Not too long, not too crowded, great for kids and adults.
Live and prehistoric specimens. Shark feeding is at 2:30pm
Nice clean bathrooms
Play area and touch and feel area for kids.
Real paleontologist shares his work with kids. Very cool.
Kids didn't get bored here.
Sections:
Marine, and prehistoric marine displays
Dinosaur area
Africa
Egypt
Lots of great displays
Groups of 10 or people get a discount. I don't remember what the discount was, but it was significantly cheaper than paying individually.

What a hidden gem! We were staying at Plaza and decided to stop by this place to take the kids. Entrance fee was cheap, for four adults and two kids it was $58 and there was no time limit, no guide, just go at your own pace. The kids took off and explored every room, every exhibit and they even had an interactive science room and a touch sand pit! The kids had a great time. They loved all the buttons to push to make the dinosaur's make noise. I didn't get to read as much as I would've liked because kids, but it was a great time. The exhibits are clean, working, not torn or ratty looking, it looks like it was just built! It was such a nice area and it has two stories (with an elevator) so you can see everything. Will be back!

Great place to spend a few hours. Great educational opportunities for kids. We will be back.

We went to Dino-ween at the Natural History Museum and absolutely loved it! It was really well put together! We loved all of the sections in the museum and can't wait to go back! Highly recommend!
