We came to Vegas on a family vacation and checked out the Natural History Museum one of the days we were in town.
The area is a little sketchy, lots of homeless folks wandering around.
We managed to find a BOGO free coupon online, so it makes it a great deal.
My 3 year old daughter found the exhibits to be really interesting. Ocean life, stuffed (dead) animals from Africa and around the world. Even my husband and I really enjoyed it.
My daughter's favorite part was near the dinosaurs in their paleontology area where she could "dig" for fossils and brush away the sand with paint brushes.
I would definitely recommend a visit to anyone who visits Vegas and is looking for a family/kid friendly place to visit.
