Think Las Vegas is all poker nights and high-octane parties? Think again. While the city shines bright for adults, it also welcomes families with babies in tow, offering surprising options to make any parent or tiny traveler feel right at home. Whether you’re on the hunt for indoor wonders, gentle fun, or peaceful spaces to unwind, Vegas delivers plenty of moments to cherish with your smallest sidekick. Read on for a playful roundup of baby-friendly activities, from interactive museums to sweet strolls under the neon lights. 

Our favorite things to do in Las Vegas with babies include: 

Las Vegas Mini Grand Prix 

Madame Tussauds 

Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens 

Las Vegas Natural History Museum 

Hop-On Hop-Off Big Bus Classic Daytime Tour 

Fountains of Bellagio 

Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay

Sweet Sin Bakery & Cafe at the LINQ Promenade 

Town Square Dinosaur Outpost 

Las Vegas Mini Grand Prix: Laps of Laughter for All Ages 

At Las Vegas Mini Grand Prix, fun knows no age limit—even the littlest guests are in for a treat! While the main attraction is the go-kart racing, this family-favorite spot offers much more for babies, toddlers, and anyone needing a break from the bustle of the Strip. The brightly colored indoor arcade area is stroller-friendly, air-conditioned, and lined with games and rides that light up curious baby eyes (no need to play, just let them take in the sensory spectacle). 

But what really makes this spot shine for families? The picnic tables and casual dining area are perfect for feeding moments, bottle breaks, or simply regrouping as a family. If you have older siblings in tow, everyone can take turns enjoying rides or carnival-style snacks while your baby watches the action from a shady spot. Staff are welcoming and used to accommodating multi-generational groups, so expect smiles all round. For little ones ready to try their first amusement rides, the tot-friendly carousel and mini rides are gentler than most. And just in case excitement peaks, there’s ample room for stroller naps—plus plenty of soft-serve cones should anyone need a little cooling off. 

Madame Tussauds: Celebrity Sightings…With a Side of Stroller Space

Madame Tussauds offers a fun-filled stroll through Vegas’ most famous faces—no babysitter needed! The museum is wheelchair and stroller-accessible throughout, with elevators connecting multiple floors. Babies love the steady pace and changing visuals, from sparkling pop stars to superheroes with capes and costumes to catch their gaze. 

Parents appreciate the air conditioning and interactive exhibits that can be paced as slowly (or quickly) as needed. This is a space where the whole group can grab cute family selfies—picture your little one ‘meeting’ some classic movie stars or even getting wheeled past a life-sized Elvis. Special lighting effects and themed music add to the atmosphere but never get overwhelming. Need a pit stop? Staff happily point out nearby restrooms and baby-changing stations. The vibe here is playful, not stuffy, which makes it just right for a relaxed family outing, no hush-hushing required. 

Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens: Blooming Bliss Year-Round 

Step into the Bellagio Conservatory and you’ll feel like you’ve entered a living storybook—no ticket needed. This magical indoor garden is free, fully accessible, and open to all, making it a firm favorite with families. Babies will love gazing at towering floral displays, colorful butterflies, and gentle water features that transform with the seasons. 

The lush, peaceful atmosphere means you can wheel a stroller without dodging crowds or distractions. The soft background music, combined with a gentle floral scent, helps soothe fussy babies (and frazzled parents). Every few months, the theme changes—think spring cherry blossoms, autumn harvest scenes, or fantastical winter landscapes—so there’s always something new to discover. Seating areas allow for quiet bottle feeding, and wide, flat paths mean naps on the go are a breeze. For parents, it’s the definition of a calm Vegas oasis. 

Las Vegas Natural History Museum: Gentle Exploration for Tiny Scientists 

Curiosity starts early! The Las Vegas Natural History Museum offers a colorful, dimly-lit world where babies can safely explore while parents soak up fascinating displays. Stroller-friendly pathways wind past displays of animals, dinosaurs, and sparkling gemstones; just the right mix of sights and sounds to entertain little ones without overwhelming them. 

The Young Scientist Center has sensory-friendly activities and floor cushions, perfect for tummy time or letting baby wriggle around in a safe space. Plus, there’s a special Dinosaur Mummy exhibit for pint-sized paleontologists, and the marine life gallery offers relaxing fish tanks that quickly mesmerize. Parents love the calm vibe and friendly staff, always happy to recommend age-appropriate spots. With nursing rooms and baby-changing facilities, the museum ranks high on convenience. 

Hop-On Hop-Off Big Bus Classic Daytime Tour: See Vegas, Nap Included 

Tired feet (and tiny companions) meet their match on the Hop-On Hop-Off Big Bus Tour. Climb aboard, settle in with your baby—even in a stroller—and let someone else do the navigating. The open-top double-decker bus glides past the Strip’s shining landmarks, letting you take in the city at your own pace. 

Babies usually love the soft motion and open air, often nodding off as you glide from stop to stop. You can hop off at key attractions, then rejoin when naptime’s over. The regular schedule helps keep your day flexible, and helpful tour guides are familiar with family logistics—pointing out baby-friendly stops, restrooms, and feeding spots. For parents, this is sightseeing minus the stress. 

Fountains of Bellagio: Mesmerizing Water Shows for All Ages 

The Fountains of Bellagio are a feast for the senses—no tickets, no waiting, just showtime every half hour in the afternoons and evenings. Babies love the rhythmic splash, the whoosh of water, and the bright lights choreographed to classic tunes. You can park the stroller right by the vast lake, with plenty of space to spread out. 

The gentle outdoor breeze, background music, and simple awe of the dancing fountains make for beautiful moments (and even better family photos). It’s easy to time your visit for when your little one is bright-eyed and content—or simply enjoy some fresh air while they rest in the stroller. 

Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay: Underwater Wonder, No Sunblock Needed

Step into Shark Reef Aquarium for a tranquil, dimly-lit escape into the sea. Wide, stroller-accessible walkways circle colorful tropical tanks, graceful rays, and of course, sharks. Gentle lighting and cool temperatures offer a break from the desert heat, and babies can get up close to slow-moving schools of fish and floating jellyfish. 

Special bubble windows allow even small visitors a captivating view, so there’s always something at eye level—even when they’re sitting in a stroller. The immersive tunnel brings a sense of undersea adventure without ever getting wet, and kids of all ages light up as sharks glide overhead. Nursing areas and changing tables are available near entrances, so longer visits are little hassle. 

Springs Preserve: Nature at Baby’s Pace 

Looking for wide open spaces with plenty of shade? Springs Preserve is just the ticket. This expansive nature center and garden is stroller-friendly, peaceful, and easy to navigate even with a sleeping baby in tow. Wander botanical gardens, stop to watch hummingbirds, or peek at turtles sunbathing by the water. 

Inside, the Origen Museum offers baby-friendly exhibits and soft, quiet corners for breaks. Outdoor walking paths are wide and flat for stroller wheels, with ample benches for feeding or snack breaks. There’s even a shaded playground for older siblings. Bring a picnic or enjoy family dining at the Divine Café, which offers high chairs and open seating with scenic views. 

Sweet Sin Bakery & Café at the LINQ Promenade: Treat Time for Grownups (and Little Ones Too) 

Sometimes you just need a sugar hit and a soft seat. Sweet Sin Bakery & Café at the LINQ Promenade is that getaway—flavored cupcakes, flaky croissants, and creamy lattes for parents, while babies can nibble on plain pastries or fruit cups. The café is open, bright, and spacious, with plenty of room to maneuver a stroller, plus highchairs for bigger tots. 

What sets it apart? Besides the menu (we recommend the red velvet cupcakes and the almond croissants), the central location makes it a perfect pit stop during a day’s exploring. Relax indoors or grab a cozy outdoor table and enjoy some people-watching while your little one takes in the buzz of the LINQ Promenade. The vibe here is relaxed and welcoming, with friendly staff who don’t blink an eye at families making a bit of joyful mess. If you’ve got an early riser, mornings are delightfully calm, and there’s always something tempting in the pastry case. It’s the perfect refresher, whether you’re starting your adventures or pausing for a mid-day breather. 

Town Square Dinosaur Outpost: Baby’s First Dino Encounter 

Craving some outdoor time just for the littlest explorers? Town Square’s Dinosaur Outpost is an imaginative play area where baby can safely stretch those legs while bigger siblings run wild. Set amid gentle, lifelike dinosaur statues and soft, adventure-ready turf, this space is a winning ticket for those slow stroller strolls and cautious first steps. 

The environment stands out for its safety and thoughtful design: padded ground, shaded benches, and plenty of fencing, so parents can relax a little more. Boardwalks and winding paths invite you to explore at your own pace, with baby-friendly zones perfect for crawling or toddling. The dinosaur theme delivers endless photo ops, while educational signs provide fun facts for parents and older kids alike. 

Town Square itself is wonderfully accessible, with changing facilities and nursing rooms available in the main center. When it’s time for a snack, you’re just steps from a handful of family-friendly cafes, making it easy to refuel without packing up the whole operation. For a laid-back morning or afternoon, this dino hideaway is hard to beat. 

 

Ready to explore Las Vegas with your baby in tow? With so many gentle adventures and family perks at every turn, your trip promises to be every bit as memorable for your tiniest traveler as it is for you. From garden strolls and dino play to dazzling fountains and pastry breaks, Las Vegas proves there’s family fun around every corner—even when your companion is still in diapers!

Christmas in Las Vegas

Towering fir trees festooned with tinsel and shiny baubles, magical festive scenes and nearly as many fairy lights as there are stars in the sky. Christmas in Las Vegas is every bit as flamboyant and OTT as you’d expect from the neon capital of the world. And here, as every day in Sin City, you’ll find everything (and we mean everything) open as usual: that includes all shops, restaurants, bars, casinos and thrill rides. As the song says: ‘Christmas in Las Vegas, it’s a trip!’ So dive in and check out our guide to some of the best things to do in Vegas during holiday season, including: Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens Ice skating at The Cosmopolitan Glittering Lights at Las Vegas Speedway Flamingo and LINQ Promenade Ethel M Botanical Cactus Garden The Magical Forest The Great Santa Run The Bellagio at Christmas The Bellagio’s dazzling dancing fountains are a spectacle at any time of year, but be sure to catch them during December when the huge water plumes soar and sway to Mariah, Bing, Wham! and other Christmas party bangers. Inside, the Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens gets a marvelous festive makeover, with decorations made from plants and flowers and supersize displays featuring sparkly polar bears, massive Christmas baubles, thousands of lights, and that all-important skyscraping Christmas tree. Best of all, it’s completely free and – unlike elsewhere in the Bellagio – children are welcome. Ice Skating at the Cosmopolitan High above the Strip lies a winter wonderland par excellence in the shape of the Cosmopolitan’s rooftop which – glitzy enough at the best of times – really ramps up the tinsel factor in December. Expect cozy Christmas vibes aplenty thanks to sparkling trees, blazing firepits, gooey s’mores, festive cocktails (snowball, anyone?) and romantic views of the neon-lit Eiffel Tower over at Paris Las Vegas. Better yet, a 4,200 square foot ice rink replaces the pool up here during the holiday season, complete with fake snowflakes. So pull on your mittens, wrap your scarf tight, strap on your skates, hit the ice and let it snow! Drive-Through Light Show Rev up your engine and hit the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for Glittering Lights, one of the biggest and best light shows in the country. Every December, the 2-5-mile course is festooned with somewhere in the region of five million – yep, that’s five MILLION – lights, each contributing to spectacular festive scenes and other Vegas-themed displays, meaning you’re as likely to see a hip-wiggling house-sized Elvis as a jolly Santa Claus. Pile the family into the car (with a hot chocolate each), tune into the custom radio station that plays carols and other Christmas favorites, and brace yourselves for the light show of a lifetime. Winter Parq Have you been dreaming of a... pink Christmas? Look no further than the Winter Parq – the promenade connecting the Flamingo and LINQ hotels where, by the Flamingo at least, bright pink decorations are de rigueur. Take in the glittering lights, giant snow globe and kitschy Christmas ornaments at the Flamingo Wildlife Habitat before strolling to the LINQ for live entertainment and Christmassy cocktails under the towering tree. Afterwards, warm up and take in panoramic views of the Neon City aboard the High Roller Observation Wheel which (you’ll be unsurprised to learn) is, at 550 feet, one of the tallest on the planet (second only to the Ain Dubai). Those who suffer from vertigo need not apply. Ethel M Cactus Garden If there’s anything more ubiquitous than Christmas trees in Vegas in December, it’s Christmas cacti. You’ll see these bristly beauties bedecked with festive baubles nearly everywhere you go, but nowhere more so than in the grounds of the legendary Ethel M Chocolate Factory. Here, the three-acre cactus garden receives an annual festive revamp that incorporates hundreds of thousands of twinkling lights, Christmassy scenes aplenty, and even a family of animated reindeer. We recommend visiting in the evening when the garden's at its most magical and, of course, combining your visit with a chocolate-tasting experience. It would be almost rude not to! Take in a Show There can be few quicker ways of getting right into the Christmas spirit than an evening spent watching classic Las Vegas shows that have been tweaked for the holiday season. Think classic Christmas rock and pop hits (as well as a few carols) from the Legends in Concert, immersive performances of The Nutcracker, and Christmas-themed magic and comedy shows. As Christmassy as your dad’s Rudolph sweater. Christmas Tree Trail December in Las Vegas sees Christmas trees sprouting up here, there and everywhere, each more fantastically bejeweled than the last. Take advantage of this free spectacle by visiting some of the major hotels to see how many stops have been pulled out to get one up on their neighbors. At over 40 feet, the Bellagio’s is inevitably among the most spectacular but the trees at Wynn’s Winter Wonderland, the Fashion Show Mall and the Venetian are no slouches either. Take a tour with your camera and make your Instagram feed the envy of all your Christmas-loving buddies back home. The Magical Forest A stalwart of the Vegas Christmas scene, the Magical Forest is just that: a woodland wonderland crammed with twinkling lights and festive decorations. This one is a must-do if you’re traveling with kids: they’re going to absolutely love the carousel, giant slide and cute train rides on the Forest Express. Plenty of live performances, food trucks and funnel cakes should keep the grown-ups happy too. Santa Claus! A visit to Las Vegas in December might almost make you believe there's more than one Father Christmas. He certainly gets around. Meet him at the aforementioned Magical Forest or head to Tivoli Village for a few memorable family snaps in his beautifully decorated grotto. You can even see the man in red swimming with sharks at the Mandalay Bay Shipwreck! If that’s not enough for you, go all in and dress up as Santa yourself: the Great Santa Run takes place in downtown Vegas and sees thousands of wannabe Santas take to the streets for a 5k fun run (or walk, if you prefer) every December.

Las Vegas in March

March marks the start of spring and kicks off Sin City’s popular shoulder season in earnest. Neither as chilly as deepest, darkest winter nor as intolerably sweaty as June and July, it’s a fine time to vacation here. Read on for our expert guide to visiting Las Vegas in March. Visiting Las Vegas in March Average Temperature: 57°F • Average Rainfall: 5 days/mth • Average Sunshine: 10 hours/day The period between March and May is among the very best times of year to visit Vegas, thanks to increasingly summery days and balmy evenings, though perhaps 'balmy' is a little optimistic for March. Still, what you can expect from a March Vegas vacation is highs in the upper 60s and lower 70s and clear blue skies stretching all the way to the horizon; cloud and rain at this time of year is rare, if not entirely unheard of. But hey, there’s plenty to keep you entertained indoors in this huge desert playground in the unlikely event you’re dealt a poor hand with the weather. Milder weather does of course go hand in hand with rising hotel prices though there are bargains to be had if you're willing to shop around. Vegas is traditionally a weekend destination but, frankly, the party here doesn’t stop just because it's Tuesday, so it’s worth considering a mid-week trip if you want to bag the best room rates. Prices also tend to start rising mid-month due to upcoming Easter holidays and increasingly pleasant temperatures. It’s also a good idea to do some research to find out about any major conventions taking place in or around specific hotels that might be pushing prices up. Things to do in March March means one thing in Vegas: it’s time for pool season, baby! Sure, the weather may still be a little too chilly for some. Nevertheless, March is when the vast majority of pools that closed down for winter begin to reopen again. You know what to do: claim your cabana, order a pina colada and peer over the tops of your dark glasses as the beautiful people emerge butterfly-like from hibernation and the pool decks of Sin City begin to throng with party people once again. Among the first to open will be Mandalay Bay’s sprawling Daylight Beach Club with its enormo 4,400 square foot pool, Wet Republic at the MGM Grand, and Flamingo’s Go Pool Dayclub. Dive in! (Or use the steps if the signs say ‘no diving’, obvs). If you prefer your entertainment a little... weirder, try Area15. The play on ‘Area51’ is deliberate as what goes on inside this massive warehouse is kept largely under wraps until after you’ve entered. What we do know is you can expect supersize art installations, VR experiences, altered universes, thrill rides and fantastical immersive experiences like the Illuminarium, an epic out-of-this-world space adventure where you can cruise through technicolor nebulae and asteroid belts to infinity (and beyond!). March is also prime time to visit the Neon Museum, an organization dedicated to preserving and exhibiting that most Vegas of art forms: the neon sign. Because the whole thing is outdoors it becomes somewhat less enjoyable to visit when temperatures start to soar, so March’s milder temperatures are ideal for wandering among these hulking relics that so deftly evoke Sin City’s gaudy history. Visit at night to enjoy the full impact and to feel like you’ve walked straight into a scene from Blade Runner. Las Vegas (or, at least, the mountains and canyons that surround it) are an absolute paradise for hikers. You can (and must) take a trip out to the Grand Canyon, whether by helicopter (spectacular) or coach (long). There are many variations of tours that depart Vegas for the West and South rims, but most include a bit of rambling among the wildflowers and distinctive red rocks. Bolt on posh picnics, champagne lunches and Hoover Dam excursions at your leisure. Or why not hire a car yourself and swing by the Red Rock Canyon? Much closer to Vegas – just a few miles west in the Mojave Desert, in fact – it offers many attractions along well-worn trails that weave past towering sandstone stacks, rushing waterfalls and caves daubed with Native American petroglyphs. You can find a comprehensive guide to the canyon’s marked hikes and trails here. Finally, in March as in every month in Vegas, you’ll find casinos that are open 24/7 and more magnificent magic shows, comedy acts, visual spectaculars and music concerts than you can shake a very large stick at. Take in a classic Cirque du Soleil performance or check listings at the MGM, Colosseum and T-Mobile Arena for some of the biggest names in rock and pop. What’s on in March? St Patrick’s Day Paint the town green on this special day, when revelers the world over honor the world’s most celebrated saint in the traditional manner: by dressing up as leprechauns, downing pint after pint of Guinness, attempting a dodgy Irish accent, then falling over. Vegas is no different, with major landmarks including the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign and the High Roller lit up in bright green and Patrick-lovin’ parties running the length and breadth of the Strip. Head to O’Sheas at the LINQ for the ultimate St Paddy’s party pub. Here, lurid green drinks accompany high-energy beer pong and classic casino table games including blackjack and roulette. Don’t forget your novelty green hat! March Madness March Madness is the nickname given to the fantastically popular NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament that sees cavernous Vegas sports bars full to bursting for much of the second half of the month. Sports fans and gamblers alike pour into town for a piece of the action, with giant screens showing the games in many of the major casinos, including the Venetian, MGM Grand and Caesars Palace. Difficult to avoid completely and occasionally overwhelming, it can feel like the whole town’s gone, well, basketball crazy. Head to the relative calm of downtown if you fancy a bit of respite away from the fanatics. Boulder City Beerfest A mere 20-odd miles south of Vegas is where you’ll find this annual mecca for beer lovers. Ok ok, so it’s a little out of town, but you managed to make it all the way out to the Grand Canyon, didn’t you? And that’s in Arizona! Expect award-winning ales and more from dozens of top Nevada brewers, soaked up with hearty fare from local food trucks.

Local shops and pop-ups line the walkway, primed for browsing—or simply window-shopping. With energetic crowds, top-notch selfie spots, and the thrill of being in the very thick of Vegas, you’ll savor the buzz without spending a dime.  Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens  Step into a wonderland of themed blooms, whimsical topiary, and intricate floral displays in the Bellagio’s Conservatory, just a quick stroll down the Strip.

Every half-hour (or more often in the evenings), jets of water leap, sway, and twirl in a perfectly choreographed ‘dance’ to music—from Sinatra classics to Broadway showstoppers.  There’s a reason crowds always gather along the lakeside railings, phones held high: the spectacle is hypnotic. The atmosphere is joyful—every show, from afternoon sunlight to nighttime luminosity, offers something a little different.

Window-shopping here feels like touring a palatial film set. Keep an eye out for pop-up art installations and free samples from gourmet vendors.  Street Performers on the Strip  Looking for unpredictable antics, music, and laughs? The Strip between Flamingo Road and Caesars Palace bursts alive with street performers. Catch everything from dazzling magicians to costumed superheroes ready for photos, all for the price of a smile (tips appreciated, but never required to watch).  Each night, new acts shuffle in, keeping the entertainment fresh—sometimes you’ll spot dance troupes with boom boxes, other times you’ll find living statues or circus-style stilt walkers. The vibe is playful and wacky, true to the anything-can-happen ethos of Vegas.  The Mirage Volcano  When the sun sets, make your way to The Mirage front entrance for the free volcano show. Plumes of real fire, rumbling bass, and brightly-lit fountains combine for a thrilling mini-spectacle, with eruptions happening several times nightly.  Watching the faux-lava rage against the backdrop of glamorous hotels is uniquely Vegas. Crowds gather early for the best views, and the show’s special effects produce both warmth and a rush few free attractions can match.  The Cosmopolitan Art Program  For a dose of high-concept creativity, pop into The Cosmopolitan’s lobby and public spaces to experience their rotating art exhibitions. Larger-than-life digital installations, interactive sculptures, and modern design pieces fill the halls—and all are free to explore.  What sets this apart? You’ll stumble upon unexpected artistic gems: digital columns that shift and change, giant installations by world-class creatives, even quirky touches in the parking garage (keep your eyes peeled for the famous Art-o-mat vending machine). It’s an artsy escape from the rush outside and proves Vegas is just as creative as it is glittery.  The Park Las Vegas  Last but not least, take a scenic stroll down The Park, a landscaped promenade stretching between New York-New York and Park MGM. Desert-inspired gardens, art installations, and shaded swings make for a chill hangout, while interactive water features add a splash of fun (quite literally, if you venture close).  Live music events fill the schedule, especially in the evenings—check local listings or just see who’s strumming on the next corner. Grab a spot under the trees, enjoy a free light show when the sun dips, and revel in the fact that some of the best moments in Vegas come without a price tag.    Strapped for cash but rich in curiosity?
