| - As a mother of a toddler, I am always on the hunt for fun, low-cost family outings in Las Vegas. I am so glad I saw an advertisement for an "arts and crafts" festival at Glicrease. I would not have stumbled upon it otherwise.
Warning: It isn't fancy or fully developed, but this was actually quite refreshing. In fact, some areas are still under construction. After spending a lot of time on the Strip and the lights, crowds, and constant stimulation- it was so nice to go somewhere that was peaceful and serene. It is far from quiet, as there are so many types of birds squawking, talking, and chirping. There are also goats that you can feed, ostriches, emus, llamas, horses, pigs, and peacocks.
There is plenty of shade and a nice grassy area that is perfect for a picnic. My daughter and I spent an hour and a half there, and we will definitely be back. As long as you don't have high expectations of it being like San Diego Zoo or Wild Animal Park, but rather just a quaint little sanctuary- you will be more than pleased.
I came on a weekend when the entrance fee was free, but regularly admission is a $5 donation for adults.
