San Diego has it, Chicago has it, New York has it, DC has it and so do we but it's not like theirs. So what I say! I'll take trip to explore the treasures of Egypt or see what life is like in the Serengeti. Yes it's downtown but once you walk through the doors you can escape the hustle of the BLVD.
Lot's of interesting things to see for $10..Kids are $5.
Be sure to check out the Wild Nevada Gallery. It is fascinating to see what life exists in the desert that surrounds us.
There is also Marine Life Gallery. Be sure to say hello (Don't touch) the neurotic ray that just keeps swimming around in circles and circles and circles.
There are many other displays to feast your eyes on soak in little tidbits of knowledge.
Just remember it's not the Guggenheim it's our own little old school Vegas version of it.
