In reality, Sin City has tons of family-friendly things to do. Do you need more convincing? Below we have listed a few places you can visit with your family that are both fun and safe!

Here is a List of Family Fun Stuff You Could Do

• The Shark Reef Aquarium, for example, has more than 2,000 animals within 14 exhibits. This place is both an educational and exciting experience for a town without a fully-fledged zoo. Located inside the Mandalay Bay resort, it’s designed like an ancient sunken temple with guests walking through a tunnel surrounded by water. It has an interactive touch pool where you can feed sea turtles, stingrays, and even sharks. About 100 sharks of more than 15 species call the aquarium home. There are reptiles such as the Komodo dragon and golden crocodile. It’s also incredibly convenient given its proximity to shopping centers, restaurants, and other attractions.

• The Venetian Hotel has man-made canals where a personal gondolier guides you through as they sing Italian songs during your ride. There are indoor and outdoor gondola rides, your choice. Each gondola sits up to four people and lasts up to about 14 minutes.

• The Lion Habitat Ranch kid-friendly and safe. Families to get up-close with the wildlife that you would only find in exotic parts of the world. Guests arrive to be within four feet of the animals. Depending on the day, you can even take pictures with a lion within designated areas and you get to see them fed. There is a 3-year old giraffe known as Ozzie that can use his mouth to paint one of a kind artwork for guests to take home.

• The Bellagio Resort is a beautiful place suitable for moms worried about bathroom breaks while walking the streets with kids. It has extra-large bathrooms, so you do not have to cram into a single stall with a child. It has a separate sitting (nursing) areas built into the lobby bathrooms. The Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical gardens, one of the most photographed spots in Las Vegas. It is on display in the hotel lobby, and each exhibit features thousands of plants and flowers carefully crafted into colorful designs. The winter display is most impressive with a towering white fir and polar bears, penguins and snow globes. A step away from the garden is the Bellagio fountains with breathtaking water shows.

• There is a five-acre pink Adventure dome Theme Park on the strip. Here, they offer rides for every age, which range from family and kid rides to thrill rides and roller coasters. There are fair games, arcades, miniature golf and a 4-D movie adventure. It costs nothing to enter; you only pay for the ride and games you choose to play.
