I can't confirm that this one is run by volunteers, but it definitely has the small-town feel. We were greeted by a woman who was excited to give us the spiel about how the town was settled (Mormon pioneers that traveled south from Salt Lake City looking to plant cotton). She also proudly showed us the story board that she was creating herself. It changes out each quarter and tells the whole story of the town, the commerce and the culture. She also said that she's working to get it online so it can be enjoyed by people all over. The museum itself is small but stuffed with old history and artifacts of the past. It was really dark inside-I'm not sure if they didn't turn on the lights or if it's just that way, but it felt kind of eerie.

After attending the Super Run Classic Car Show in downtown Henderson last weekend, I am a fan of…read morelocal events.The Super Run Classic Car Show transformed Water Street into a classic car museum filled with people. The cars included a 1923 Ford coexisting with a Chevy El Camino, a Plymouth Road Runner, 1978 Trans Am, and every classic car imaginable. Just like a good museum, the cars included information about their year and make. A good number of the cars had the hoods popped open to display the engines. The vehicle owners were there to share information. There was even a stand displaying hundreds of Match Box and Hot Wheels cars for sale. The Super Run Classic Car Show featured a few food concessions plus a beer garden. They sold corn dogs, smoothies, hot dogs, burgers, sausages, and fries. Personally I have mixed feelings about the food concessions in downtown events. My understanding is that the events are entertainment that helps stimulate the downtown economy. On Water Street so much of the downtown economy is restaurants and bars. I'd do my part by supporting the Cafe in the El Dorado, the Coffee House, and the Gold Mine Tavern because they plan to be in the community for the long run. Besides, lately I'm not too crazy over the taste of carnival food. In my reporting of the Super Clasic Car Show, what made Super Run Classic Car Show shine was that it made Water Street shine. I never saw Water Street so happening on a weekend afternoon. For a day Water Street looked like US 66 when GTOs ruled the road. A Water Street that is usually empty on a Sunday morning was animated with people. These people were supporting local businesses. From my observation, business was up on Water Street. There was even a 15 minute wait to eat in the Cafe. It also seemed that the casinos and bars were busier. When I look back on the Super Run Car Show, I think of how it made Water Street shine on a weekend afternoon When I look back on this event, I look forward to more local events.

There are lots of interactive exhibits, old equipment, videos, and real historical artifacts. Learning about the atomic testing era and seeing how close the tests were to Vegas was fascinating. The museum is clean, well organized, and easy to explore at your own pace. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable too. The only downside is the ticket price felt expensive -- I honestly wish they charged a little less so that everyone could afford to experience and learn from this unique museum. Still, it's a very educational and worthwhile visit if you enjoy history, science, or museums.

Amazing educational experience for the whole family!…read more My family and I visited the Atomic Museum and had such a great time! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by how well the exhibits were set up and how much history is packed into one place. The museum does an excellent job explaining the science and history behind nuclear testing and the Manhattan Project in a way that was engaging for adults and older kids alike. We especially enjoyed seeing the historical artifacts, models, and detailed displays that brought such an important part of American history to life. The museum was clean, well organized, and easy to walk through at our own pace, and there were plenty of interesting things to see that sparked conversations among all of us. The staff were friendly and helpful, and we even spent extra time exploring the exhibits because there was so much to take in. Overall it was a fun, educational outing, and we definitely recommend it if you're looking for something a little different to do in Las Vegas. A great mix of science, history, and fascinating facts that left us all talking about what we learned long after we left!

If you're into hidden history and Old West vibes, Silver Reef Ghost Town is one of the coolest…read morestops in Southern Utah--and honestly, it feels like stepping straight into a movie set. We stopped here not expecting much, but it completely surprised us. This wasn't just any ghost town--it was once a booming mining town in the late 1800s with over 1,500-2,000 people, all chasing silver that was somehow found in sandstone (which is basically unheard of). Walking through the area, you can still see preserved buildings like the old Wells Fargo office and other remnants that give you a real glimpse into what life was like back then. The museum is small but packed with artifacts, and the guided tour adds a lot of context to the experience. What really makes this place stand out though is the setting. You've got these insane red rock cliffs surrounding the town, so it doesn't just feel historic--it's actually beautiful too. There are also trails nearby if you want to explore a little more. Overall, Silver Reef feels like a hidden gem that most people drive right past. It's quick, unique, and surprisingly fascinating. If you're anywhere near St. George or Zion, it's 100% worth the stop.

There's plenty of free parking in the plaza where the museum is located. & speaking of free - there is no entrance fee to get in to the museum! We were greeted right away by the friendliest woman who gave us a donkey spiel & then offered to take a hilarious video of us (please watch it - it's attached to this review). The museum is equal parts informative & quirky. I loved all of the historic donkey photos & giggled at the wooden donkey figurines. I just wish I had longer to spend here so I could read every single photo caption. There's a cute little trinket section (I wish there was more - I would buy more!) & an option to donate to the museum. Donate! Keep this adorable little function alive. I will absolutely stop by again when I'm in the area. Thank you for educating my ass at the Donkey History Museum!!

The Neon Museum has been on my list for years and I finally got to go on my recent trip to Vegas…read more Looking at old reviews here, I'm glad that I waited this long because it sounds like they've made some improvements. We booked our tickets ahead online because it appeared that in the past they would sell out, but we could have easily purchased them at the door. The museum houses old working and non-working neon signs from Las Vegas past. There's everything from old cleaners signs to old casinos like the Stardust. I highly recommend that you visit at night so that you can see a lot of the boneyard lit up. They offer guided tours but we opted out. There's plenty of signage throughout the museum to give context and history to what you're looking at, although the guided tour would have been cool. We spent about an hour walking amongst the signs and I didn't want it to be over! They have a separate fenced off section with signs that will never light up, but I wish that we could have explored that section as well, since many of the signs that they had on display in the main area also didn't light up. It was so cool to see this piece of Las Vegas history.

It was really cool to see and learn about Vegas's history, and it was fun checking out this spot! Night time 8pm-Midnight is where its at here, doesn't seem like it would be as cool to see during the day. Tickets are overpriced though - you can get a similar experience walking through Downtown Las Vegas/Fremont Street. I fortunately was able to get a $5 discount per ticket for both mine and my friend's ticket (I paid for both of us) with my USC student ID as a graduate student, but the girl selling the tickets got confused when she thought that meant I graduated already - I had to clarify that no, that means I finished my undergraduated (bachelors degree) and am working on my Masters degree.

Infinity Museum - Las Vegas…read more If you're looking for one of the most unique attractions in Las Vegas, Infinity Museum is definitely worth visiting! This immersive experience is filled with mirror rooms, colorful lights, interactive exhibits, and incredible photo opportunities. Every room feels completely different, so it keeps you wondering what's next. One of our favorite parts was how interactive everything was. You're encouraged to explore, take photos, and enjoy each exhibit at your own pace. The staff was friendly and even gave us helpful tips on where to stand for the best pictures. Before entering many of the exhibits, you'll be asked to put on shoe covers to help protect the mirrored floors and keep them looking spotless. It's a quick process and helps preserve the experience for everyone. If you don't want to wait in the regular line, there's also a VIP option available that lets you skip the standard entry line, which can be worth considering during busy weekends or holidays. Prices * General Admission: Around $40-45 per person * VIP Skip-the-Line Admission: Available for an additional fee * Children may receive discounted pricing depending on age. Hours * Open Daily: 10:00 AM - 10:00 PM. Location Located at 3528 S. Maryland Parkway, Suite 177, Las Vegas, NV 89169. Infinity Museum Parking There is free parking in the shopping center, making it easy to visit without worrying about Strip parking fees. Tips * Wear comfortable shoes--you'll be walking through several exhibits. * Be prepared to wear shoe covers inside many of the mirror rooms. * Wear solid-colored clothing for even better photos. * Visit earlier in the day if you want fewer people in your pictures. * Take your time--most visitors spend about 1 to 1 1/2 hours exploring. * If you're visiting during a busy time, consider the VIP skip-the-line option to save time. Overall, Infinity Museum was one of our favorite attractions in Las Vegas. It's fun for families, couples, and anyone who enjoys interactive experiences and taking unique photos. Every room offered something different, and we left with some amazing pictures and great memories. We'd definitely recommend adding it to your Vegas itinerary!

What an experience!…read more Went into this with very little exposure and I recommend you do the same if possible! As we entered, we were greeted warmly by the employee and checked in per our reservation (also highly recommended). After a quick safety video, we embarked on our 7 different installation journey. We absolutely loved how unique each room was! The level of immersion kept catching us by surprise. As we traversed and thought a specific installation was our favorite, we quickly had to change up our minds until deciding every installation was equally unique and in a level of its own. The worker(s) throughout the Museum were all so helpful, positive and caring. Definitely helped bring the whole experience together. This one is going on my must visit list for when in Vegas. Especially during the seasonal adjustments to the art!
