Fun Things to Do With Kids in Las Vegas Off the Strip

2. Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area
Just a short drive west of the city, Red Rock Canyon offers stunning scenery and kid-friendly hiking trails. The scenic loop drive is perfect for families, and the visitor center has great educational exhibits. Best visited in fall, winter, or early spring.
3. Springs Preserve
A fantastic educational experience right in the middle of town. Springs Preserve features botanical gardens, museum exhibits, and walking trails. It's a great way to learn about the Mojave Desert and the history of Las Vegas.
4. Town Square Las Vegas
An outdoor shopping and entertainment center that's incredibly family-friendly. It features a great children's park, a movie theater, and plenty of dining options. It's a great place to spend a mild afternoon.
5. Local Splash Pads and Parks
Las Vegas has an excellent parks system. During the warmer months (but before the peak summer heat), local splash pads are a lifesaver. Parks like Exploration Peak Park and Centennial Hills Park offer great outdoor play structures.
