| - Considering this city doesn't have that many kid-friendly activities, I think this place is a great option to entertain the under 18 crowd. Obviously, if you compare it to Disneyland, Six Flags, Knott's Berry Farm, Bush Gardens or a number of any other big name parks Adventuredome pales in comparison. It is small and they only have about 25 rides and attractions. But if you live in Vegas or just visiting this will probably be one of your kid's favorite stops.
We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't very crowded at all. Lines for rides were short and the longest wait was about 5 minutes. There are a few rides that are decent, like the Canyon Blaster roller coaster, Disk'O, Slingshot, and Chaos but don't expect to be blown away with excitement. The scariest thing about the rides is knowing that they're old and don't look like they're in the best shape. Combine that with the disinterest and "I wish I was anywhere but here" mentality of the teen employees operating the rides and the fear factor will increase.
They do have a few rides for really young kids, which my two year old loved. He just barely cleared the 36" minimum required to ride and was thrilled to try things out. He looked a little unsure and scared on a couple rides at first, but when they started up he was laughing and smiling. He was so excited about the Frog Hopper (kids sit in a seat and bounce up and down), Miner Mike (roller coaster), and Road Runner (spins around and up and down) that he ran back to the line to ride them over and over again.
This park is probably best for younger kids, as older kids and adults will lose interest after a couple hours. But, it's still a fun place to go for the afternoon since there are no other amusement parks around. All day passes are $24.95. $14.95 for anyone under 48" tall.
