Walking in we were greeted with a very friendly smile, were shown the map, told highlights of the museum and had all questions answered with very friendly service! I loved the striking giraffe statues and loved that all animals except the large eagle were taxidermy! I couldn't believe just how massive the giraffes were, it is a very striking impact to have them greet you at the entrance! Great placement! Stuffed animal room was very neat to see, I have only seen animals like this in a museum in Elko Nevada. We moved on to the aquarium room, saw some small sharks, and some cool fish like puffer fish! We loved the dinosaur room and that would have been way cool if my kiddo was younger!!! The highlight for me, what I was here for was the Egyptian exhibit! Wow!!!! I learned sooooo much and can't belive the actual artifacts that are on display here!! They were absolutely amazing!! This exhibit alone was worth the money!! The machine that you could view the different layers of the mummy was phenomenal to experience!!!

(4/5) We had a…read morereally fun time at the Las Vegas Natural History Museum! It's the perfect size for families with young kids, and I'd recommend it most for ages 2-8. Our kids loved all the interactive exhibits, especially the fossil dig, the moving sand table, and the hands-on play areas. There was plenty to keep them engaged, and they also enjoyed seeing the dinosaurs, marine life, and live animals throughout the museum. Admission: Around $15 for adults and $7 for children (ages 3-11). Kids 2 and under are free, making it an affordable family outing. Parking: Free parking is available, which was a huge plus. Tips: * Plan for about 2-3 hours to see everything. * The hands-on exhibits are the highlight, so allow extra time for those. * Great indoor activity, especially during the hot Las Vegas summer. The museum isn't huge, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5, but it's clean, well maintained, and offers a fun, educational experience for young children. We'd definitely recommend it to families visiting Las Vegas!

(main side, but I'm sure hospital side has the same issue) Hunt housing is of course one of the most corrupt private base housing companies besides Balfour. We all know this anyway, but I wanna make sure they know that we know they are corrupt and our money is being pocketed by their CEO's. It's definitely not being put back into the houses. And unless they show us the numbers and budget and all that, I'll continue to believe our money is being pocketed. They do not check on their properties or clean them up. They put out a lot of survey's but nothing ever comes of it. I'm still wondering about that in house inspection about 2 years ago... even the guy doing the inspection was shaking his head at how bad things were and it's been crickets since. They do not care about your life with these out of date fire detectors and none of them are near anything that would catch on fire which I don't understand. The landscaping company they hire does an awful job. And they don't clean up the massive amounts of dog crap in the "parks". Yes, it's the dog owners responsibility, but at the end of the feckin day, it is YOUR property to upkeep, Hunt. Commissary is a commissary. Foods constantly out of date, or damaged. Terrible produce, and terrible stock rotation and ordering. It's gonna be worse when they privatize it soon, or just flat out close them. But, right now it's the cheapest place to go in these expensive times. We of course live on the worst side of the city. And it's not the people's fault it's the gentrification of the rich. The BX is like an old 90's mall, but all of the stores are open and there's vendors lining the middle of the halls, and a food court. They also have a lot of unnecessary and expensive stuff. And do not EVER buy something large (like appliances or furniture) and have it shipped to you from AAFES. We won't *ever* make that mistake again. You won't know when it's coming and it'll come completely damaged at that and you'll have to do all the work of doing a return. Just avoid it entirely. 5 stars to the on base shop at the gas station. We trust them with our vehicles.

Perfect active fun for our energetic 2 and 3 year old boys!…read moreWe brought our toddlers to the DISCOVERY Children's Museum and they had an absolute blast. This place is a huge indoor playground with three floors of hands-on exhibits that kept them moving the whole time. They loved Toddler Town on the first floor the desert themed soft play, sensory elements, and crawl spaces were just right for their age. But the real highlight was The Summit, the giant 70-foot climbing structure that spans all three floors with 12 levels. I was surprised how well our 2 and 3 year olds handled it! They climbed the levels with no problem, exploring different challenges and interactive spots at their own pace. It was great to see their confidence grow as they went up and down. They also enjoyed the water play area (smocks provided still recommend a change of clothes) and some of the imaginative play zones. We spent about 2.5-3 hours there, and it felt like the perfect energy-burner in air-conditioned comfort a lifesaver in Las Vegas! The museum is clean, the staff is friendly, and it's very stroller-friendly. Admission is $15 for Nevada locals with valid ID and $20 for non-locals (kids under 1 are free). We went on a weekday and it wasn't too crowded, which made chasing the boys around much easier. Helpful tip for families on a budget: If you have a valid EBT, SNAP, or WIC card, you can get admission for just $5 per person (up to 4 tickets per adult cardholder cards must be shown at entry for verification; in-person only). If you have active little ones who love to climb and explore, this is a fantastic spot. Highly recommend -- we'll definitely be back!

It was nice having something fun for kids to do that doesn't involve being 21+ or sitting in a hotel room, especially while her parents had a chance to gamble. We had so much fun and stayed for a few hours. I was honestly exhausted after going through the jungle gym, but there are so many hands-on learning experiences and activities that keep kids engaged the whole time. The Grocery Store was a popular place that the kids seemed to enjoy. The quality of the exhibits is great, and for how much there is to do, the value is totally worth it. Highly recommend for families. We'll definitely be back the next time she comes to visit.

Can't come up with something fresher with people who do not have mullets? After the movie you start your tour. During our tour we had two different guides, both were knowledgeable but had little personality.... Except the occasional high expected "dam tour" joke. Both talked very fast and were at times hard to understand. We had purchased the higher end tour for $40. With this smaller group tour you got a little deeper dive into the dam, including a walk down a tube where you could look out a vent in the actual exterior wall of the dam that overlooked the river below....that was cool! The museum was updated, which was very notable and appreciated. Lots of interactive displays that were all working. Best part of the tour was the dam itself. Great views! You can make your choice between 3 tours, or just skip ithem all and walk around and enjoy the views. The paid tours go from a cheaper "self guided" to a mid priced group tour, and a top choice which included a bit longer and deeper dive into the dam. All include a short movie and entrance to the museum.

I'm very torn on this place…read more.. t's great that Vegas has an aquarium where kids can have hands-on semi educational interactions with real sea life and other exotic animals. The size of this place is deceiving, when we first walked in, I thought we would be in and out within 30-minutes. We were actually here for over two hours and every corridor we walked into offered a new smattering of lizards, bunnies, snakes, otters, huge fish, and even a massive saltwater tank filled with small sharks and stingrays. I realize a lot of the animals here are rescues, but I truly felt sorry for all of the mammals here... do they ever see the sun? Are they allowed to go outside and get fresh air? Or do they just stay inside basking in the fluorescent lights? I feel like if they had that information posted it wouldn't be as a bummer seeing capybara's, wallabies, and tons of birds, in small cages; inside of a mall. If you're local and you haven't been here yet, it's definitely worth at least one trip.

We had so much fun getting pumped up by the dJ/MC and the Marching band and the cheer leaders and all the raffles and photo OPPs. Everyone was in the festive mood and dressed for the occasion. This fun supports the children's charity and a lot of people brought children's pjs to donate. If you haven't done this yet. Put it on your list of must dos this year. I recommend.
