This place is AMAZING! It's fun, beautiful, and educational all at the same time! I wish it was around when I was a kid!
There are TONS of interactive games and exhibits (the flash flood simulator is pretty cool) that teach kids (really anyone for that matter) about a variety of topics including Nevada history, desert plants and animals, and living an eco-friendly lifestyle to promote conservation in the Las Vegas area.
If I were a teacher I would definitely take kids on a field trip here, and when we come back to visit LV I hope we can bring our child to experience this wonderful funderful (yes...funderful) place!
