Las Vegas Natural History Museum Admission Ticket

Cute little museum, better for younger kids. Has a dinosaur display which makes sounds and an outdoor area with different desert creatures. It also has displays about the original Native inhabitants. Right next to Nevada state museum.

We went on a whim on our last day in Las Vegas to avoid the heat. What a gem of a museum! Plenty of great exhibits with great information. A lot of interactive activities for kids and adults. Right down the street from the Neon Museum. All of the staff were super helpful and informative.

This is not far from the Neon museum downtown and admission is very cheap considering its in Las Vegas. (we are from the UK) Staff are very helpful on arrival and you can download the map which helps because we missed a few rooms at the beginning. We could have spent all day in here as there is so much to see and do, its very interactive (my son especially loved designing things that ended up on the TV screens) and full of good information however, there is no where to get a drink! no café and although there is a little shop, they don't sell drinks either. due to this we didn't do the basement floor as we were all thirsty so headed to Fremont. if you sold drinks on site then we would have stayed much longer. I would still recommend this place as its great for families and anyone visiting can get away from the chaos of the strip here.

Open delivering the mail to the Las Vegas national history Museum for the last year I have never had a single issue but today, December 12, 2025 I went in like I always do and asked to use the restroom when some teenager tells me that I can’t use the restroom without admission last time I checked, you guys are a state provided service. You’re supposed to be open to the public and not refuse customers ever so great job to the 14-year-old employee that is at the desk who has no idea where he’s at or what he’s even doing there.

To get into the museum, you have to get through the homeless that hang out at the door, like literally at the door! I didn’t feel safe leaving my car in that parking lot and I wasn’t going to subject my grand daughters to the filthy homeless at the entrance.

We spent about an hour and a half. Kids and adults enjoyed this museum. Much better than expected, well organized, Friendly people. Nice gift shop.

It was good, but it is only for people with little children, not for adults with no children, so I would not go again.

It was very easy to book my tickets through viator although when we got to the museum the receptionist said that they did not see our ticket information in the system also we were told that we could have gotten a cheaper price if we had booked directly with the company for the museum, probably a $20 difference or so... The booking process was fairly easy I just wonder why the receptionist did not see our information in the system because I had a confirmation number and everything but we were able to go to the museum and we did have a wonderful time.

We actually didn't make this event but I'm sure it was just as good as all the things I booked for our trip

Really nice small museum just past downtown Las Vegas. Even though the place is a little on the small side, they had a very impressive Egyptian display. My wife and I really liked the shark tank with live sharks swimming around. Really cool place. Thank you!

It had been a very long time since I have been to that museum but I am glad I revisited with a close friend of mine. I knew that the museum was on the smaller side but I'm glad to see they had expanded on their exhibits. The Africa exhibit was great, the African Rainforest section was cool to see again, the Dinosaur exhibit was being worked on at the time but it was great that they were dressed up for the holidays. The best part of our visit hands down was the aquatic life exhibit, I knew that Shark feeding was a part of the experience but I never knew it was on specific days. We just so happened to visit on Tuesday, Tuesday and Thursday were the only days that had Shark feeding by the way. We got to see all tge sharks and the singular Ray eat prepared fish and shrimp while also getting to learn all about them in the process, it was amazing. Now the only problem I had with the museum was the keptness, a lot of the exhibits could use some thorough dusting and cleaning. The elephants trunk in the Africa section was collecting quite a lot of dust, the hut in the African Forest exhibit was very busy to the point that when my friend got in and tried standing up he swore that something got in his hair and he was itchy on the way back home, the children's part of the museum could use a lot of dusting and tank swabbing if possible, the Egyptian exhibit could use some dusting in the glass indoors. Also please check on that Scorpion, it didn't look too good when we passed by it. However, this museum was a great get away from the large amount of overwhelming places in Vegas, and the $14 tickets was extremely modest. This museum is a great and I definitely wish it was doing well since I think the wish for donations is a sign of something that I hope is not. This museum gave me so many great memories when I was a kid and it would pain me so much to see it go away. This is a great place to visit for a couple of hours with friends or families with children, I hope it's here to stay for a very long time.

Its a great way to learn histy from the stone age. We had a chance to talk with the paleontologist.It was there extracting a cast of a dinosaur leg.Very fascinated.The man is very very well educated for his field. It's not just dinosaurs but a lot of other animals and animals that roamed earth back long ago.

We like to go during Science is Everywhere week when they have -ologists there and you can ask them questions about their field. (Biologists, Paleontologists, Archeologists. . .)

Doesn’t accept tickets bought through a third party even when they’re contracted with the company. Fought with me and basically told me it was my problem. I would go somewhere else.

I learned that some of the follicles in the museum were found in the Las Vegas mountains. People who have homes in the mountains find skeletons all the time. Learned things I weren't aware of. Enjoyed the tour immensely with my grandson.

Great exhibits, very informative, I would highly recommended to all ages. One of the most price friendly for families.

My daughter had been wanting to go so we took her best friend with us. I think I was expecting more with all the info online. My daughter enjoyed, but also got bored really quick. The lady at the front desk was really nice but the others didn't even say Hello! The inter-active areas were offline and not available.

This was just as educational as I had hoped it would be I urge parents with kids or even couples come to this museum it’s a real experience and great for gaining knowledge on subjects that you didn’t know about The staff were so friendly and even helped us with arranging a taxi Highly recommend anyone to go here

We were not sure what the experience would be like since the building looked fairly small upon entry. We were quite pleasantly surprised! The exhibits were varied and interesting. All items on display were in very good condition. It took us 2 1/2 hours to view all the displays. We enjoyed the experience thoroughly.

We enjoyed the dinosaur explanations very much. Kind of an old school museum. The Egypt exhibit was good but was a strange fit… it had more info on Egyptians but almost zero regarding the First Nations people who have lived in Vegas for over 10,000 years. We were disappointed there wasn’t more information on first peoples.

This place was such a welcome surprise! Right in the heart of Las Vegas, this place is full of historical artifacts and information. We weren't expecting much but ended up being blown away. How is this not one of the top things to do in Vegas? We loved it!

A wonderful museum from local environs to world. Great for all ages. Apes to rocks and Flora and fauna

It was a boiling hot day, so I decided to do an indoor activity, and this is a little gem. It is really aimed at children, but I spent a very happy hour looking at the exhibits. It is a small museum, but filled and well set out. Lots for kids to touch and explore.

I came here yesterday because I needed pictures to use for a class project that I was working on, and I was able to get them.

Once year they participate in Las Vegas Science Fest and they have real -ologists (archeologists, paleontologists, biologists, etc.) Great time to become a donor to help fund events such as these!

Welcoming, docent Peggy was very helpful. She kept out heavy backpacks safe, we were able to enjoy the museum unencumbered. The shark feeding was very educational. Thank you

If you love museums and are looking for a non-gambling, non-drinking thing to do and not spend a ton of money in Las Vegas, the Las Vegas Natural History Museum is the thing for YOU.

Our 30-ish year old guests, a civil engineer and nurse from Tanzania LOVED this museum. They especially enjoyed the Egypt/King Tut and…Africa exhibits! They told stories about their knowledge of nature there, and even learned that a couple things they believed about some of the animals were not true. They were impressed with the Leonardo Da Vinci exhibit - not surprising given his many engineering-related inventions. All staff members were very welcoming and took time to explain more about exhibits. A great time!

Absolutely unsatisfied! My daughter became sick not her fault! And you do absolutely nothing to help anyone out just take the money and say oh well you have to attend. How can she with a freaking fever?! At least start offering vouchers or something because unfortunately there are things we cannot control. Very unhappy

Very interesting and informative. Exhibits so life-like. Well done! Will certainly share this experience with others.

I am impressed at the dinosaurs display and the Egyptian display. The animal display is a little crowded.

Not many people go to Las Vegas for the museums but I wanted to see this one. I was not disappointed. It is small and is easy to tour... A relaxing and educational experience....

Outstanding museum! Staff was extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating. The variety of exhibits was great.

The exhibits were great. The whole family found something to be educated about. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable

Nice place, very informative and good for kids. The staff was very nice and understanding. Really happy we went and will maybe go again.

The kids loved the dinosaur exhibit and the sounds and movement. Also really enjoyed the mummy exhibit.

This is a great place to take kids ... the exhibits are lifelike and the premises are fairly small. Other reviews suggested that you need 3 or 4 hours to see the site. If there are no juveniles in your group, then plan for 1 to 1-1/2 hours to see everything.

My husband and I went to Las Vegas May 10-14, 2021. We decided we wanted to do some non-gambling events, so I reserved tickets for various things including the Natural History Museum. We took the bus (RTC) from the bus terminal downtown. The bus driver assisted us with the correct bus stop. There were interactive exhibits kids seemed to enjoy. My husband and I enjoyed the history, but it just didn't meet our expectations. It was plain to see several of the animals were old and maybe hand-me-downs. There were some good exhibits but not what I expected.

Great to see land animals from different places in the world. Loved how some animals actually moved since everything was not alive. I really liked how the animals were in great details. We found out it was real animal fur.

Very neat museum. Had a lot of exhibits and the gentleman in the learning center was awesome and very informative

This is a well laid out, small museum. Very informative displays throughout the museum. Because the museum is small it can be toured relatively quickly. Most interactive displays remain functional in the Covid era. There are plenty of sanitizer stations.

I was pleasantly surprised by this museum. We went as soon as they opened, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the Egyptian section of the museum, and spent most of our time looking around in there. Overall, it's a good museum to visit if you're interested in learning about the desert surrounding Las Vegas and seeing some artifacts that you won't find anywhere else. If you go now, they also have a Christmas/holidays around the world display in their main hallway.

We had family from 3 to 77 and it was enjoyed by all. Each had a favorite part. The new dinosaur interactive was interesting. You could feed the dinosaur but never touched anything. Loved all the diarama s. The aquarium portion had a fun sand bin to depths and there were lots of tanks to look at and many sharks whales excetera hanging from the ceiling.

My family and I had a great time, everyone was very nice and very sanitized...Thank you for the experience, we will be back again soon🥰

Really enjoyed the museum. The employees were wildly helpful and knowledgeable! They had my ticket already printed out when I got there

A Las Vegas resident tipped me off to this little gem. Quite a few natural life exhibits and history, but the real gem is the Egyptian exhibit, showing replicas of King Tut's tomb and items from the tomb. It is one of the best that I have seen, even in much bigger museums. Worth the small price of admission just for that alone.

We took our 8-year-old grandson here and he was enthralled. There were several hands-on items, and a number of interactive videos. It made for a good few hours on-site. If we were back in the area, I'd certainly bring grandkids here again. That we belong to a museum that is part of the Association of Science Technology Centers, and admission was free, makes it even better!

It was air-conditioned, the staff were absolutely amazing and awesome, and it was pleasant. I loved their Egyptian exhibit and all of the taxidermy. Dinosaurs were a little outdated. And I wish they had more on the megafauna. Overall, it was enjoyable.

I was in Las Vegas for leisure while my husband worked and thought that this museum would be a good way to stay away from the casinos. The museum is on need of some serious updates as many of the displays were so outdated. Not many true artifacts here, just a lot of reproductions. There was a pretty foul odor throughout the place as well. The staff there were very welcoming and kind, and I think it's a good place to take young children. It really doesn't take longer than an hour or two to get thru the whole museum. This is a not-for-profit that truly needs help from the Vegas community.
