Of course they are wild animals and should not be approached but you are able to sit so close to them and observe as they relax in the grass. They are not tame but it is so neat to be able to be so close to them without them being at all disturbed by our presence.

Wilbur Square is dedicated to Ray Lyman Wilbur who was the Secretary of Interior from 1929 - 1933. There were also several trees planted in the immediate area that were dedicated to some loved one who have passed on. This park is the host of the annual Art In The Park that the city hosts each October as well as the BeerFest and I am sure many other events. The park is a nice size and is a great place for a game of frisbie, football, having a picnic or just enjoying the day. Mature and tall trees provide ample shade and although the grass is not as lush as it used to be, it is still provides good ground cover. The pathways are wide and there are plenty of park benches to sit on to read a good book or just destress. You can't miss this park as it is the star of Boulder City. It is at the very end of the highway before you descend down towards Lake Mead begging you to stop and take a stroll.

Plenty of room to lounge on blankets and soak up the sun and atmosphere. When not overrun with beer stations and food trucks, the park is mostly open space.

Perhaps after purchasing a lovely picnic lunch at one of Downtown's quaint restaurants. TIP- Take a short walk up the hill behind a government building to get an expansive view of Lake Mead (while it's still there).

Really loved walking our small dog on the paved walking path around the ponds, too. This park is very much dog friendly and even has it's own dog park as well. The restroom was shockingly clean for a park bathroom, might I add. The park is well kept, with plenty of parking, and shaded areas with pine trees and other large trees. They have a few picnic areas that have barbecue grills too. Very pleasant experience at this park and our family looks forward to returning to this gem.

There are paved walking paths throughout the grassy open park and benches under tall shaded trees making for a perfect lunch spot. There was a fair amount of open space for my fur baby to run and have a potty break and they have doggie stations with bags and a trash for you to clean up after your pet. There are a couple of picnic tables with a bbq grill near them as well trash cans. The park is named after Frank Crowe, who had a large part in the building of Hoover Dam and there are some statues and markers around the park that mention him. Every year around the beginning of December there is this Annual Tree lighting Ceremony at the park and once the tree is lit everyone cheers and celebrates while drinking hot chocolate and singing Christmas carols. That's just how the town of BC rolls and I like it.

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.

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.

Boy Scout Canyon can be a 4 or 8 miles round trip depending on the vehicle you have and how far you…read morewant to hike. I've done it both ways and I prefer the shorter version. To get there, drive to Boulder City and continue straight on Nevada Way to Utah Street. Do NOT head for Hoover Dam. Make a right on Utah Street and follow it until it ends at the Boulder City garbage transfer area. Turn right onto a graded road and follow it for less than a mile. You'll see a left turn for a gun range. Turn left here and follow this road for a short time. There is another turn to get to the gun range. DO NOT take that left turn. Continue to the next left and then go down a steep hill that runs along the south side of the gun range. You'll soon enter the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Inside the fenced area is where you park if you do not have a 4x4. This will make your hike 8 miles round trip. If you do have a 4x4, continue driving down the wash for another two miles. The rocks are sharp in places and close to each other, so drive this with care. At the end of the 2 miles, you'll come to the trailhead--a place that's wired off so vehicles can't go any more. Park here. From here, follow the wash as it heads to the Colorado River. The rock formations are amazing and the views are great! At about 1/3 mile from the trailhead, you come to a 15 foot dry fall that's easy 3rd class. The best side to scramble down is on the left as you're looking down the wash. Take care, but this isn't a hard down climb. As you near the end of your wash, the canyon narrows and soon you come to the end of this part of the hike. The end is a 20 foot dry fall you can only get down using ropes. There are some hooks in the rock above, but I would not recommend you do this. At the bottom of the dry fall is a pool like area in which I've never seen water. Beyond this small pool is a high pour over that's more than a 300 foot drop. Enough said. You don't need to explore down there! The next part of the hike entails retracing your steps about 3/10 of a mile. Look to your left as you're hiking back and you'll see a use trail leave the wash and go up a hill. Follow this trail which has some ups and downs and eventually it will lead you to a magnificent view of the Colorado and the Black Canyon Wilderness area. This is a good place to have a snack and take photos. When you're done, go back to the wash and head back to your car. This is a great hike with lots of pretty vistas. Wear hiking boots and take water. A Camelbak is best! Happy hiking!

I did a little UYE hiking action with Norm K and August C last weekend. I won't reiterate all of…read morethe useful information that Norm has already listed. If you need directions to the trailhead, I refer you to his excellent review. I found this hike to be pretty easy. There is one scramble down (and back up) a 15-foot spillover in the wash. Other than that, it's a very gradual descent toward the Colorado. You don't actually make it all the way to the river on this hike. There is a 25-foot dry fall that basically serves as the end of this out-and-back hike. Even if you decide to brave that drop, Norm says there is a 300-foot drop waiting for you just moments ahead of that. Instead of pressing downward, we backtracked and found our way up to a ridge where we had a great view of the river and the Hoover Dam bypass bridge. All told, we hiked about four miles. Of course, the hike could have been longer if we didn't drive the two miles down the wash until the point where they prohibit vehicles. That's probably the one thing that would prevent me from doing this hike again. Most of the "road" is fine, but there may be parts where having a 4x4 is recommended. I probably won't ever do this hike again, but it was an enjoyable morning and I'm grateful that I can cross it off my (nonexistent) list.
