Sweet Sin Bakery & Cafe at the LINQ Promenade 

Hop-On Hop-Off Big Bus Classic Daytime Tour 

High Roller Observation Wheel 

Discovery Children's Museum

Las Vegas Mini Grand Prix: Races, Rides, and Playground Fun 

Buckle up for big fun in a pint-sized package at Las Vegas Mini Grand Prix! This family entertainment center is tailor-made for little thrill seekers. Kiddos can try out their driving skills on safe, supervised kiddie go-kart tracks—no driver’s license required, just pure excitement. Even better, there’s a vibrant selection of classic amusement park rides, from spinning tea cups to a gentle roller coaster, all carefully designed for the preschool set. 

Need to burn off a little extra energy? Head straight for the huge indoor arcade, packed with age-appropriate games and plenty of flashing lights. If the weather’s warm, the shaded play area is perfect for a snack break (you’ll love their pizza and kid-sized treats). What makes this spot special is the atmosphere—it’s noisy, lively and 100% dedicated to tireless fun. Don’t forget to swing by the prize counter on your way out; those game tokens turn into exciting souvenirs! 

Dinosaur Outpost at Town Square: Jurassic Journeys and Hands-On Play 

Travel back in time (without leaving the Strip!) at the Dinosaur Outpost, a wonderland for mini paleontologists. Preschoolers can explore life-sized dino sculptures, pretend to dig for fossils, and get hands-on with interactive exhibits. Every corner invites curious minds to touch, build and ask questions—perfect for energetic little ones with big imaginations. 

The best part? Staff lead engaging story sessions and fossil digs throughout the day, so no visit is ever the same. This spot feels more like an immersive playground than a museum—expect giggles as kids clamber on the “prehistoric” play structures or show off their dinosaur roars. Grown-ups get in on the fun, too, helping their little explorers on thrilling “discovery” missions right in the heart of Town Square’s family-friendly shopping district. 

Las Vegas Natural History Museum: Meet the Animals and Beyond

Dinosaurs, mummies, underwater worlds—oh my! The Las Vegas Natural History Museum is perfect for curious preschoolers (and parents who love a dose of learning with their fun). Begin your visit by saying hello to realistic animatronic dinosaurs—they move and roar in ways sure to mesmerize little ones. 

Continue through hands-on exhibits featuring wild animals from lions to sharks; many displays are touch-friendly and designed at kid level, making them extra inviting. The Young Scientist Center is a highlight, especially popular for its dig pits and creative craft tables. The friendly, laid-back atmosphere makes it easy to take things at your family’s pace, so preschoolers stay engaged instead of overwhelmed. It’s an exciting, safe spot where every day offers a new animal to meet and a new story to discover. 

Sweet Sin Bakery & Cafe at the LINQ Promenade: Treats with a View 

Every family adventure needs a snack stop, and Sweet Sin Bakery & Cafe is a preschooler’s dream come true. This playful bakery at the LINQ Promenade serves up dazzling cakes, chewy cookies, and wow-worthy milkshakes piled high with sprinkles. Their signature treat is the macaron ice cream sandwich—delicate, colorful and just the right size for little hands. 

The atmosphere is modern yet whimsical, with neon accents and a counter full of delights to tempt every sweet tooth. Invest in a milkshake “flight” to sample a few flavors or sit at an outdoor table to watch the High Roller light up as dusk falls. For tired feet, grab a cozy corner indoors and treat yourselves to a cocoa break. Sweet Sin is proof that Vegas is as much about sugar highs as it is about nightlife! 

Hop-On Hop-Off Big Bus Classic Daytime Tour: Easy Rides, City Sights 

Curious about exploring Las Vegas with a restless travel buddy? The Hop-On Hop-Off Big Bus Classic Daytime Tour is a parent’s secret weapon. Grab seats on the open upper deck and your preschooler will love zooming past the oversized sights of the Strip—from dancing fountains to glittering marquees—without ever leaving your seat. 

Frequent stops make it easy to hop off when you spot something intriguing. Many parents rave about the flexibility: take a stroller, pause for playground breaks or pop off for a closer look at street performers. Friendly guides keep the mood upbeat, and you control the pace—ideal for the unpredictable needs (and nap schedules!) of young travelers. Plus, the breeze up top feels great during a sunny stroll down Las Vegas Boulevard. 

High Roller Observation Wheel: Sky-High Views for All Ages 

Make your little one’s eyes go wide with a spin on the High Roller, the world’s tallest observation wheel. The boarding process is stroller-friendly and smooth, so even tiny travelers can relax and enjoy the ride. The glass capsules are spacious, air-conditioned, and offer spectacular views for miles—even grown-ups won’t want to miss it! 

Preschoolers love picking out pool shapes and spotting toy-like cars below, while older siblings and parents can point out landmarks and snap colorful pictures. Go at sunset for a magical “city lights” moment or in the afternoon for dazzling strip views. It’s a calm, 30-minute ride—no sudden drops or loud noises—making it just the right level of excitement for little ones. 

Discovery Children's Museum: Play, Learn, and Get Messy 

If there’s a must-visit stop for families in Vegas, it’s Discovery Children’s Museum. This vibrant, three-story play space is jammed with activities tailor-made for preschool-aged scientists, artists, engineers and dreamers. Kids can splash in water tables, “shop” at a pretend grocery store, crawl through tunnels, and experiment with ramps, pulleys and giant foam blocks. 

There’s a dedicated Early Childhood Zone for the youngest visitors, with soft play structures and friendly staff supervising activities. Throughout the museum, textures, shapes, and colors encourage open-ended discovery—no standing still required! The atmosphere is cheerful, hands-on and safe, making it a perfect spot to spend a half-day letting your little one lead the adventure. 

Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens: Colorful Nature Escape

Need a break from the neon? As soon as you walk into the Bellagio’s Conservatory & Botanical Gardens, the mood shifts to pure wonder. This free indoor garden dazzles with hundreds of colorful flowers, creative topiary sculptures and whimsical seasonal displays—think giant butterflies, twinkling lights, and dancing fountains. 

The space feels like a storybook come to life, engaging kids’ senses as they peek beneath flower arches or gaze at playful creatures built from blooms. Because it’s quiet, stroller-friendly, and open every day, families can wander at their own pace, snap memorable photos and linger without the crowds of the casino. It’s pure enchantment…and a gentle recharge for grown-ups, too. 

Container Park: Free-Range Play in Downtown Las Vegas 

Looking for a spot where your preschoolers can just run, climb, and giggle to their hearts’ content? Head downtown to Container Park, a quirky outdoor shopping and eating space built from—you guessed it—shipping containers. The star attraction is the park’s interactive playground, dominated by a massive treehouse perfect for pint-sized explorers. Slides, bridges, tunnels and a splash pad deliver hours of fun, while parents can kick back in the shade with a coffee. 

Local musicians sometimes set up on the small stage, and friendly vendors sell everything from frozen lemonade to popcorn. Grab lunch from one of the food stalls—fresh tacos, grilled cheese, or fruit bowls are always popular—and make your way to the “grass” (it’s artificial, so no muddy knees!). The vibe is relaxed and distinctly neighborly, a world away from the larger-than-life Strip. Don’t miss the giant praying mantis sculpture at the entrance—it “breathes fire” on the hour, a safe but thrilling sight for pint-sized visitors. 

 

There you have it! Las Vegas is so much more than glitz and glitter. With this line-up of friendly, creative, and wonder-filled destinations, your preschooler will remember their Vegas trip for the adventure, the playtime, and those giggles that always mean a perfect family day.

Las Vegas in June

Things are heating up in Sin City! June is a busy month in Vegas, as the last of the spring clouds are gone, the sun comes out in all its glory and party goers flock to the strip in search of fun and festivities. Most of the excitement is now happening indoors away from the heat, but for those who seek the sun there’s still plenty going on outside – and the pool parties never stop, of course! Hotel prices are at a premium now, especially around the Juneteenth commemorations, but there are some good deals to be had if you come mid-week, or book ahead. Visiting Las Vegas in June Average temperature: 99oF • Average rainfall: 0 days/mth • Average Sunshine: 14.5 hours/day You won’t need many layers in June, as the mercury will hit the 80’s most days and will probably nudge over 100 on some too. It doesn’t cool down much overnight, either – the average low is a very mild 75, so you can look forward to some lovely warm evenings. Plan to be indoors in the air conditioning during the day, and if you are going out wear sunscreen and a hat. There’s almost no rain in June, although the wind does pick up to a breezy 10 miles per hour, so if you’re heading out of the city make sure you have sunglasses to protect your eyes from flying dust. Remember to keep hydrated, and you’ll be fit to keep partying for as long as the sun is up – or down! What’s on in Vegas in June? Juneteenth Juneteenth is an annual commemoration of the official abolition of slavery in the US, which was declared on June nineteenth in 1865. The day itself is marked with special religious services, speeches and family gatherings, and in Vegas is usually accompanied by a festival that takes place on the weekend closest to the day. This uplifting and inspiring holiday is a showcase of the city’s African-American heritage, particularly in the entertainment industry, so expect music, art and plenty of dancing. Sports Most outdoor sporting events wrap up in June, but sports fans can still find some indoor events if they need a break from the gambling and partying. The local WNBA team, the Las Vegas Aces, plays at the Mandalay Bay Michelob ULTRA Arena, where there’s also some quirky silver art in the lobby that’s worth checking out. Or if you want to keep up with all the sporting action around the country, head to the massive pool complex at Circa’s Stadium Swim, where you can catch all the action on a massive 40-foot-tall LED screen while you’re keeping cool in the pool or sipping cocktails on a comfy sunbed. Where to cool off? When you need a break from the heat of the strip, duck into a casino and enjoy a moment in air-conditioned splendor. You don’t have to be a gambler to appreciate all they have to offer (although if you do fancy a flutter you’ll be spoilt for choice!). Caesar’s Palace is famous for its round lobby with classical marble pillars and renaissance-themed frescoes, the MGM grand has a games and billiards arcade, the Cosmopolitan has a bar famous for its edible cocktails, and Circus Circus has its own family-friendly indoor amusement park, complete with roller coasters, bumper cars and acrobats. For a refreshing twist on things, have a wander through the indoor botanical garden at the Bellagio – stopping on the way to check out their world-recording-holding chocolate fountain, of course. Muse in a museum Despite its reputation for drunkenness and debauchery, there’s quite a bit of culture to be counted up in Vegas. There are several museums, all air-conditioned and ranging in themes from the very traditional Natural History Museum to the surprisingly educational Erotic History Museum. In between there’s a Madame Tussauds, a Mob Museum (where you can explore the history of organized crime and try your own cocktail in an underground speakeasy) and an Illuminarium, which is a 4K, 360o immersive cinematic experience that takes you past the moon and into the far reaches of the galaxy. If that doesn’t cool you off, you might need to try more extreme measures – jumping off the STRAT, perhaps? Party by the Pool A summer trip to Vegas wouldn’t be complete without visiting at least one luxury resort complex and spending a day at the pool. There are plenty to choose from, although keep in mind that some of them charge a fee for non-guests and you’ll probably have to book. Mandalay Beach does a good job of imitating an actual tropical beach, but if you prefer to know you’re in a city then perhaps try the Boulevard Pool at the Cosmopolitan, which overlooks the strip. Others to look out for include the Golden Nugget’s Shark Tank, the uber-luxurious eight-pool complex at the Venetian, or the Mount Olympus-inspired Garden of the Gods at Caesar’s Palace. Keep an ear out for hotels hosting pool parties (which is basically a club, but you can wear your swimsuit) or if you can’t decide, jump on a Rock Star Pool Party Tour and let someone else chauffeur you around from party to party like a proper celeb. Emerge in the evenings When the sun goes down you can finally step outside and breathe in a bit of warm summer air. Stroll down the strip, and maybe try an evening tour from the top deck of a Hop-On Hop-Off bus tour – be sure to jump out at the ‘Fabulous Las Vegas’ sign now it’s all lit up, and retrace your steps to the Bellagio Hotel to see the water fountains, which will also now be brightly illuminated. If you’re in the mood for views you can look down on it all from the Eiffel Tower Experience, the Fly LINQ Zipline or even from a helicopter, or you can go for full escapism with a show like Cirque du Soleil’s KA or the Blue Man Group’s bright fusion of color and sound. On the other hand, if you want to keep up the heat, head to Senor Frogs for a sizzling fiesta of Mexican food, drinks and party vibes. Keep things cool with Go City In Vegas, it’s never too hot to have a good time! Be sure to get your Go City All-Inclusive or Explorer Pass, and you’ll get cool savings on all the best attractions in town!

Best things to do in Las Vegas in February

Rising like an oasis out of the Nevada desert, Las Vegas is an all-year-round destination, with plenty to do when it's scorching hot and just as much in the cooler months. February is a great time to see Las Vegas. You’ll still be guaranteed warmth and sunshine, with the benefit of fewer crowds. However, believe it or not, it can actually get chilly out in the desert, especially once the sun goes down, so don’t forget your layers! Here are some ideas of the best things to do in Las Vegas in February. Iconic sights You can't come to Sin City without ticking off the most iconic sights. Make sure to do the poker-player pilgrimage to the Strip, the home of all the world-famous casinos where you’ll also see the Bellagio fountains, the Luxor Pyramid and the Eiffel Tower! Vegas isn’t short of sky-high thrills and sights. Why not also head over to SkyPod at The STRAT – the tallest freestanding observation tower in the US – where you’ll get a whole other perspective over the city and the desert beyond. If you’re daring enough, then you’ve got to try out the hair-raising SkyJump at The STRAT. This heart-pumping open-air leap will see you hurtle at speeds of up to 40mph from a height of 855 feet! Shows Get outside Museums If that doesn’t tickle your desires, then give yourself a giggle at the Erotic Heritage Museum which explores human sexuality through art, multimedia displays, and powerful exhibitions. You’ll see how erotic art has influenced today’s culture and get a look at all sorts of cheeky artefacts from the world over. Where better than Sin City for a little naughtiness? Save on Attraction Admission Pick up a Go City® pass for Las Vegas and save on combined admission vs paying at the gate. Remember, this February itinerary is just one of many ways to experience Las Vegas.
