Caesars Entertainment · Flamingo Las Vegas
Flamingo Wildlife Habitat
Flamingo Las Vegas — steps from Planet Hollywood
A free tropical oasis in the heart of the Strip featuring Chilean flamingos, African penguins, koi fish, and exotic birds. A peaceful and magical experience for young athletes — and one of the best free things to do in Las Vegas.
Adventuredome Theme Park
Circus Circus
America's largest indoor theme park featuring roller coasters, thrill rides, carnival games, and attractions for all ages. A full day of fun under one roof — rain or shine.
Many rides have height requirements of 36–48 inches. Check the Adventuredome website before you go to plan which rides your kids can enjoy.
Shark Reef Aquarium
Mandalay Bay
Walk through underwater tunnels surrounded by sharks, rays, sea turtles, and thousands of sea creatures. One of the most exciting family attractions in Las Vegas.
The LINQ High Roller
The LINQ — Caesars Entertainment
Soar 550 feet above the Strip in the world's tallest observation wheel. Stunning views of Las Vegas in climate-controlled cabins — a memorable experience for the whole family.
Pinball Hall of Fame
Las Vegas Strip (near Bally's)
A massive collection of vintage and modern pinball machines — all fully playable — at their newer Strip location near Bally's. A unique, nostalgic, and incredibly fun experience for kids and adults alike.
Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Garden
Bellagio Hotel & Casino
A stunning free attraction featuring elaborate seasonal floral displays and botanical installations. A beautiful and peaceful experience that's completely free to visit.
Cowabunga Bay Water Park
Henderson — 20 min from Strip
A full-scale water park with slides, a lazy river, wave pool, and dedicated splash areas for younger kids. A perfect half-day escape from the Strip — especially fun in the Nevada heat.
About 20 minutes from the Strip by rideshare. Check seasonal hours — the park typically opens April through September.
Fremont Street Experience
Downtown Las Vegas
The original Las Vegas experience — a massive LED canopy covering four blocks with free live entertainment, zip lines, and street performers. A completely different side of Vegas that families love.
Best experienced after dark — the LED canopy light shows run every hour from dusk. A daytime visit is fine, but the evening atmosphere is what makes it special.
Make It a Family Vacation
The Enchanted Classic is more than a competition — it's a full Las Vegas family experience.
