    The adventure dome is cool for kids... adults, not so much. My dad and I took my kids, niece, and nephew here for an afternoon one Easter and they had fun. They have rides for both the little kids, and teens so that was nice. They take a group picture before entry so you can buy that as a souvenir (and I did). But it's only a few hours worth of fun here at Circus Circus.

    This place was huge ! Plenty of rides and two big roller coasters inside. Games and food court directly inside. My son wanted to ride everything multiple times so it was better for us to get the unlimited wristband which was also reasonably priced and well worth the money.

    We have been wanting to try this ride since we came out a few years ago. Finally made it happen this go round. You purchase a card from the kiosk and pick the option you want. We did the 2 ride and 30$ arcade credit total $45. The ride was fun, you "shoot" various items on the projections. It took a while to locate someone to open and operate the ride for us, had to walk back and forth to the customer service area. No one else was there so we had the whole ride to ourselves. It's located inside Circus Circus near the Adventuredome. Arcade had a bunch of differnt games and claw machines. We had fun with it.

    The Adventuredome was such a wonderful surprise. My wife and I wanted to introduce our daughter to 'extreme' rides by first taking her to this place and we adults left just as impressed as our daughter. First, the place (on a Thursday morning in March) was extremely clean. Most every ride, and every fun ride, is covered by your ticket. Bars open a little after the park opens and prices are very reasonable. It's a very well laid out circular park, so you can always head towards the middle to find the restrooms. We enjoyed every ride we went on. The carousel and mini gravity drop rides entertained the 3 of us. The adult rides were more thrilling and entertaining; from the spinning disk that also rocks back and forth to the gravity drop to the open air multi row ride that flips you over and over and over.......we were very entertained! The 2 fantastic roller coasters that rode above the 'tree line' and gave us a tour of the park below us were outstanding. The park was very empty the Thursday we visited. More people started to roll in later in the day, but it was very mellow and we didn't have to wait in lines. The park staff were all friendly and professional. Our daughter wanted to play some games and the staff was very generous in ensuring that she won almost every time she played and she was ecstatic. The Adventuredome is a great destination. It's not Disney or Knott's, but if your child likes rides, it's a great choice. Plus Circus Circus is well suited to families. If you're an adult, you'll still be impressed with the rides. Peppermill is across the street, if you want some excellent diner style food with a 70's feel and McDonald's is next door for quick eats. Definitely visit Adventuredome! *Tip 1* They allow re-entry. Take a nap or head back to your room to make yourself a few cocktails. **Tip 2** Plan to get there before it opens. That's the emptiest the park will be.

    This place was a little off putting especially with strong security presence and a metal detectors at the front. This place was also completely empty when we came with young employees just standing around chatting amongst themselves instead of actually working or acknowledging customers. We paid for a card at the kiosk in Midway misunderstanding the "ride" portion. We were under the assumption it was rides at the Adventuredome after we purchased 3 cards. It ended up being 6 rides on the new SpongeBob laser ride attraction. The kids had fun even though it was a little underwhelming for what they expected.

    Finally made it out to Circus Circus Adventure Dome. Well it's definitely OLD school and definitely needing a make over. Here for the old school feel not the modern updates appearance. I enjoyed my time there and I would recommend to anyone to stop by and visit Circus Circus because the property is up for sale and who knows how much longer before this location could possibly be just another memory. Adventuresome was great depending on the day or if is winter break for schools you could experience long lines do to slow safety inspections at entry. Safety is important however when kids are off from school maybe more bag checkers are in order.

    Had a great time! We went on a Monday, so no lines, not a lot of people, it was perfect, now I can imagine in the next weeks with Summer vacation happening that it'll be a lot of kids and lines. The staff was nice for the most part, a very few seemed they did not want to be there, but again, I guess I can't blame them if they think about having to put up with some unruly teenagers. Rides were clean, not too bad on food choices, although this time we didn't eat or drink there since we had plans to go to a restaurant right after we were done and we misread the hours and got there 2 hours before the dome opened, so we walked over to their food court in the casino section and had a snack, but we have eaten inside the dome before, just typical amusement park fair, hot dogs, hamburgers, popcorn, etc. Wristbands are $60.00 for adults/children over 48" and under 48" are $30.00 not bad, especially if you ride the rides multiple times, we did with quite a few of the rides. Parking was good, although we were going to try valet, but they were closed, but there is a lot right outside of Garage 1 and a small walk from the valet area that was perfect and cost was not expensive at all, when you park there, you scan the QR code that they display and pay for your parking, I believe we paid $5.00 for 4 hours, now not sure if that varies dependent on day, time, etc., but inexpensive. The Garage 1 was taped off, so we couldn't have parked there if we wanted to, I believe they might be doing some improvements, so if the area we parked in was full, you could use Garage 2. They also have a SpongeBob ride, but it's not part of your wristband, it's right outside to the left of the Adventurdome by the shops and food places, the cost is $13.98 for 1 ticket or $20.98 for 2 and it was a cute ride, you are 4 to a cart and the object of the ride is to use the wand located in front of each seat and toss or throw items on the screens to play the carnival games as the ride goes through the show, the animatronics were awesome! I'd ride that again definitely. All in all a great time and if you have kids, then it's a great indoor, air conditioned place to spend time with the family, especially since having kids with you in Vegas could be a bit of a feat to keep them entertained.

    If you want to have your kids happy please come here while in Las Vegas. It was lots of fun and I was able to go with my child as the extra support for free. Make sure to go during the day and during the week as it can get hectic!

    PSA: All-Day Ride Passes are 50% off until 8/10/25! That means $30 instead of $60, and if you buy in person, you can skip the $2 online service fee per ticket. This was my first time visiting the Adventuredome and I'd say it's definitely worth checking out while the discounted tickets last. The indoor setup is perfect for escaping the Vegas heat, and there's a surprisingly good mix of rides, from adrenaline-pumping coasters like El Loco and Canyon Blaster, to more relaxed options like the Circus Swings and Drifters. If you're not planning on riding, no need to buy a wristband, since you can still explore the park with your group without one. I love that this gives families and anyone under 21 something fun to do off the Strip, without breaking the bank. Free all-day parking in the garages is a nice perk too, but be prepared for a bit of a walk from the garage to the casino. Lockers start at just $4 for the whole day, and there's even a daily Happy Hour from 12-3PM, where every game that uses points is 50% off. This applies not only to the Adventuredome but also to the entire Circus Circus arcade areas like The Midway, which made it feel like a mini bonus. Overall, we spent about half a day here and felt like we got great value out of it. It's obviously smaller than places like Disneyland or Universal, but for the price and convenience, it's hard to beat.

    This is over priced for what it is. $60 per kid base price to ride - and then most of the major rides weren't even available. The arcade will run you at least another $60 to play games you have little chance of winning. The staff is friendly though, and the place is clean, plus it was really empty when we went on a Tuesday morning, so at least the kids rode in peace.

    It's been over 20 years since I last set foot inside Circus Circus, but since my 8 year old niece was visiting from California, I thought we'd give it a go. We spent the entire time inside the Adventure Dome and I was glad we did. The rides were great and the lines were extremely short, which, afforded us the opportunity to ride multiple times, back to back and without waiting. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the facility and the demeanor of the staff. Although, young in age they were very professional, polite and treated guests with the upmost respect. There were a myriad of carnival type games as well as some classic arcade games such as; Air Hockey, Miss Pac Man, asteroids and others. Given the current extreme temperatures we've experienced here in Las Vegas, having a venue which, offers a cooler environment while providing fun activities for the entire family to enjoy is wonderful. I must say we thoroughly enjoyed our time spent and would definitely recommend you visit should you be looking for a kid friendly & safe environment.

    This place is still the same since. A few new rides and games. It was clean and few people on a Thursday afternoon. Had a blast!

    Are there extended hours for spring break?

    Yes. For Clark County Spring Break next week, we will be open 10AM-12AM each day!

    Is parking free at circus circus adventuredome?

    It sure is! Use the surface parking lot off of Sammy Davis Jr. Drive, or Garage 1 for easy access!

    Are they open everyday and if so, what time do they open and close?

    10am-12pm

    Has anyone been to the skating rink? Is there additional cost to use it?

    I was there two weeks ago and was able to use the skating rink with an "all day pass bracelet". It included the skates. I hope this helps.

    Any advice for taking a 2 year old? Should we purchase an all day ticket or just a few tickets or not any tickets at all? Any "must do" rides or activities? Any advice would be appreciated.

    Walk around first and see what your child is interested in and determine then. If you know your child will enjoy the rides, buy the all day pass. It beats the single ticket ride prices if you go on multiple times. You can always return later in… Read more

    I want to check out this place with my son, hopefully he will be able to get on some coasters but i certainly don't want to stay all day. Just a coaster or 2. Can single ride tickets be purchased?

    Yes. But they are expensive. I felt like the all day arm band was the better deal.

While we've always thought the prices were high for what it is, this year, the prices for the experience was truly not worth it. They offer various packages, 1 hour, 3 hour, or unlimited. We've done all the options in the past, but this time we opted for the hour wristband as we arrived later in the evening ~ 7pm on a Friday night. We wanted her to have time inside too to play in the arcades. Time doesn't start until your first scan for a race or ride. They conveniently scanned us in for our first race and we were seated, in our car, for a solid 10 mins while they sorted out other drivers and go-karts. We got sick from exhaust blowing in our face as we sat there with all the cars running yet not moving. When we finally started the race, it was less than 5 minutes! Half of the cars were either dysfunctional or set to a slow setting with no rhyme or reason. Our next race, our daughter was so excited she is tall enough to try the sprinter car on her own (58in) so we went to check that out. We waited 10 mins for a race to finish then the worker told us she could only fit 8 racers despite there being 15+ cars. So we had to wait another round. Another 20+ mins gone. Half an hour in, we only had 2 races in. In total, we were able to get 5 races in the hour time frame (one of which was past our time limit, but the worker let us go anyway). We have been going to Mini Grand Prix for years and this was the worst experience by far. The races are shorter, the lines are longer, the wrist bands are more expensive and the facilities have not been updated. Our daughter, on her own told us, it's not the same anymore : (

First time I ever rode it, I didn't know what I was signing up for. You hear that slow click... click... click as you climb, thinking, "Alright, how bad could this be?" Then it drops and suddenly you're questioning every life decision that led you to that seat. It's fast, it feels a little wild, almost rickety like it might toss you into the Vegas skyline, and I wasn't ready for it. Not even close. But man... what a trip. And here's the thing that ride became more than just a thrill. One of the last trips I ever took with my dad, we rode that coaster together. I didn't know at the time he was sick... didn't know he had cancer. He never told me. But I remember that ride clear as day. I was focused on grabbing one of those little souvenir keychains after, something simple. He had other plans wanted the bigger photo, something we could hold onto. At the time, I didn't think much of it. Now? That picture means everything. So every time I go back to Vegas, I ride it. No questions asked. It's tradition. And for something that looks compact tucked into the Strip, this thing punches way above its weight. It hits speeds around 67 mph, throws you through a full loop and a barrel roll, and pulls enough G-force to make you feel like a fighter pilot for a few seconds. It's one of the few coasters right on a major city strip like this, and it doesn't hold back. By the time you step off, your legs are a little shaky, your stomach's doing a reset, and yeah you're probably ready to eat something. Quick tip: don't ride it at the end of a long night. Either go in fresh or give yourself some buffer after eating. This one's got some bite. I'll be honest it's not about chasing thrills like I used to. I'm not some hardcore coaster guy. But this? This is different. This is memory, adrenaline, and tradition all wrapped into one loud, fast, unforgettable ride above Las Vegas. Ride it once for the thrill. Ride it again for the ones you remember.

Then Aaron called to tell me he found the $100 bill while he was out picking up trash, and Taylor followed up right away. Anyone could've easily kept it and no one would've known, but they didn't. That kind of integrity says a lot about this place and the people who work there. We can't wait to come back, and we may even visit more often this next year. Highly recommend!

How can you go wrong with an electric powered vehicle that was designed for bumping into other cars? Well, head on collisions can really mess up your back, spine, or whatever other skeletal terms you wanna go by. That is why for this track you are only supposed to go in one direction. In this case, counter clockwise. Still you will have those people that either dont know how to drive or just wanna be idiots and bump into everybody or both. You must be 54 inches tall to drive, at least 42 to ride. Before you are even let on to the track, you have those measuring sticks there at the entrance. Make sure to buckle up or the attendant walking around will not let the fun begin. Each car can fit two people if one is not tall enough to drive. There is only the one gas pedal on the left. To slow down or stop, simply just take your foot off the pedal. Or you can just bump into somebody if you wanna stop right away. To back up towards whatever direction you wanna go just turn the steering wheel to all the way to the extreme right or left. In the end, even after all this info, some people just dont know how to drive. Dont let any of these people drive you to the hospital. If im not mistaken I think the overall time given to drive around is 5 minutes. Yelp 2014 365 Review Challenge #172 "Road rage starts here"

    The Magical Forest is such a gem and an incredible non-profit that truly brings the magic for the…read morewhole community. We've visited during Christmas and will visit next Halloween. Each season is beautifully done with festive displays, lights, and decorations that make you feel like you've stepped into a storybook. There's so much to do for all ages...a charming train ride through the forest, a classic carousel, the fun Avalanche Slide, and endless photo opportunities everywhere you turn. It's perfect for families, date nights, or even just a cozy night out with friends. The beer garden is a great touch for adults, while kids (and kids at heart) can enjoy hot cocoa and funnel cakes. Everything is thoughtfully laid out and keeps the energy fun and festive without feeling overwhelming. What really makes this place special is knowing that your visit supports a great cause while creating lasting memories. The staff and volunteers are friendly, and you can tell a lot of heart goes into making this event magical every year. Highly recommend making this a seasonal tradition, it's pure joy, nostalgia, and holiday spirit all in one

As seen, in my Pics The Gift Shop's items' isn't priced too badly; there were some items that I was considering, but you know how it is, after the Holidays, your bank account is pretty lean; I have a lot of people to buy for, I've got a large family. There were five Grinch- themed trees. Many of the trees were decorated very nicely. It's a beautiful sight to see. We went on the Carousel, and we did two rounds of Mini-Golf, which was fun. We also went down the Avalanche twice. Stringbean went three times. Gone are the years of seeing all of the Gingerbread Houses. Now, there are a lot of fundraising food/drink stands, I get it, it's an organization.

    What a fun kid friendly place! My kids loved the "tunnel" going through the fish, and especially…read morethe tide pool. It was nice to also see other animals besides just marine creatures too. It is a bit in the smaller side for an aquarium, and depending on how young or easily entertained your kids are, you may or may not be done quickly. I know my kids could probably be happy here for hours and hours though. If you aren't a local, then I'm not sure if the ticket price on top of having to pay for parking would feel worth it, but then again that is dependent on each person and what they want to do for their family. This was our first time to the shark aquarium, even though we've been living out here for about seven years, and also a first for me even going to Mandalay Bay despite visiting Vegas often before having kids and moving out here. Just from the area of walking to go to the ticket area inside, Mandalay seems very spacious and beautiful. I could even see myself spending a good amount of time with the kids just walking around in the non-casino sections.

    I am extremely disappointed with our experience at Shark Reef. What was supposed to be a fun and…read morememorable family outing turned into a stressful and heartbreaking experience for our daughter and our entire family. We fully understood that the activity was intended for children ages 5 and up. However, staff scanned and accepted my daughter's ticket without any issue and allowed us to go through the entire process, which naturally led us to believe she was approved to participate. It wasn't until we reached the very front, after waiting and getting her excited for the experience, that staff suddenly stopped us and told her she could not participate. Having to tell a child at the last second that she was no longer allowed to join after already being checked in was incredibly upsetting. Our daughter immediately started crying and was devastated. My wife and I then had to step away to comfort and carry her while everyone else continued on. Because of how poorly this was handled, neither my wife nor I were able to enjoy the experience either. The issue is not the rule itself we respected the age requirement. The problem is the complete lack of communication and professionalism. If there was an issue with her eligibility, it should have been addressed before her ticket was scanned and before we waited through the line and built up her expectations. Instead of creating a positive family memory, this experience left us frustrated, embarrassed, and deeply disappointed. We spent time, money, and effort planning this outing only to have it ruined by poor organization and careless handling of the situation. Families deserve better communication and better treatment than this.
