Had a great time visiting during kids time off from school. There was plenty of free parking. We entered the building and in the small gift shop paid for admission which is $2.00 for adults and $1.00 for kids. The cashier was extremely friendly and gave us a map, and be booklet. My history obsessed husband was super disappointed that he didn't get to meet Mr. Hall-Patton (hopefully next time).
The indoor exhibit featured the history of the region's earliest settlers as well as early Las Vegas Casino memorabilia. My kids enjoyed the scale that also gave a horoscope !
The outdoor had a Ghost town, train Print Shop, Church and houses from different times relocated from around Las Vegas. The row of homes were very inviting and offered a lot of information about life during the growth of Las Vegas. My favorites were the motor homes which had the honey suckle growing outside.
I must note that it was stroller friendly. There were ramps which made it easy for me to navigate with my little one. The only place I could not navigate was the train. I just left it outside for a few minutes. Also note there is only restroom located in the main building.
We were there for about 2 hours and had a great time. My kids were engaged and entertained. I suggest wearing a hat, sneakers and bringing water. Most if the museum is outdoors and spaced out nicely- lots of walking. It was a great value and my family learned a lot. We will definitely return.
