From there, walk through the hotel until you get to the aquarium- it takes at least 10 min. (all flat terrain & all indoors) Once there, get a ticket- we went on July 7th & there was 0 people in line. The exhibit took us an hr, but we walked through slowly. We enjoyed seeing the sawfish, sharks, pirañas, turtles, jellyfish, & many types of fish there. We also got to touch the rays in the pool, & from the glass tunnel, we watched the aquatic creatures swim above & around us. At the end of the exhibit (included in the price) is a short theatre experience where you wear a VR headset and immerse yourself in a journey under the sea. A fun little extra we both enjoyed. NOTE 1: There were lots of little children so it got a little noisy by times, but it was still very relaxing if you don't rush. NOTE 2: This is a tiny aquarium compared to the Monterey Bay Aquarium or the Aquarium of The Pacific. However, the price of this aquarium is almost the same price, if not more. NOTE 3: Definitely a popular choice for families, or anyone who wants to enjoy the free AC, & get out of the hot Vegas sunshine for a bit.

Perfect active fun for our energetic 2 and 3 year old boys!…read moreWe brought our toddlers to the DISCOVERY Children's Museum and they had an absolute blast. This place is a huge indoor playground with three floors of hands-on exhibits that kept them moving the whole time. They loved Toddler Town on the first floor the desert themed soft play, sensory elements, and crawl spaces were just right for their age. But the real highlight was The Summit, the giant 70-foot climbing structure that spans all three floors with 12 levels. I was surprised how well our 2 and 3 year olds handled it! They climbed the levels with no problem, exploring different challenges and interactive spots at their own pace. It was great to see their confidence grow as they went up and down. They also enjoyed the water play area (smocks provided still recommend a change of clothes) and some of the imaginative play zones. We spent about 2.5-3 hours there, and it felt like the perfect energy-burner in air-conditioned comfort a lifesaver in Las Vegas! The museum is clean, the staff is friendly, and it's very stroller-friendly. Admission is $15 for Nevada locals with valid ID and $20 for non-locals (kids under 1 are free). We went on a weekday and it wasn't too crowded, which made chasing the boys around much easier. Helpful tip for families on a budget: If you have a valid EBT, SNAP, or WIC card, you can get admission for just $5 per person (up to 4 tickets per adult cardholder cards must be shown at entry for verification; in-person only). If you have active little ones who love to climb and explore, this is a fantastic spot. Highly recommend -- we'll definitely be back!

It was nice having something fun for kids to do that doesn't involve being 21+ or sitting in a hotel room, especially while her parents had a chance to gamble. We had so much fun and stayed for a few hours. I was honestly exhausted after going through the jungle gym, but there are so many hands-on learning experiences and activities that keep kids engaged the whole time. The Grocery Store was a popular place that the kids seemed to enjoy. The quality of the exhibits is great, and for how much there is to do, the value is totally worth it. Highly recommend for families. We'll definitely be back the next time she comes to visit.

Walking in we were greeted with a very friendly smile, were shown the map, told highlights of the museum and had all questions answered with very friendly service! I loved the striking giraffe statues and loved that all animals except the large eagle were taxidermy! I couldn't believe just how massive the giraffes were, it is a very striking impact to have them greet you at the entrance! Great placement! Stuffed animal room was very neat to see, I have only seen animals like this in a museum in Elko Nevada. We moved on to the aquarium room, saw some small sharks, and some cool fish like puffer fish! We loved the dinosaur room and that would have been way cool if my kiddo was younger!!! The highlight for me, what I was here for was the Egyptian exhibit! Wow!!!! I learned sooooo much and can't belive the actual artifacts that are on display here!! They were absolutely amazing!! This exhibit alone was worth the money!!

Our kids loved all the interactive exhibits, especially the fossil dig, the moving sand table, and the hands-on play areas. There was plenty to keep them engaged, and they also enjoyed seeing the dinosaurs, marine life, and live animals throughout the museum. Admission: Around $15 for adults and $7 for children (ages 3-11). Kids 2 and under are free, making it an affordable family outing. Parking: Free parking is available, which was a huge plus. Tips: * Plan for about 2-3 hours to see everything. * The hands-on exhibits are the highlight, so allow extra time for those. * Great indoor activity, especially during the hot Las Vegas summer. The museum isn't huge, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5, but it's clean, well maintained, and offers a fun, educational experience for young children. We'd definitely recommend it to families visiting Las Vegas!

One of the few free things to do in Las Vegas while visiting the Forum Shops at Caesars was…read moreactually pretty cool I wouldn't say that the aquarium is large, however it has been built to be impressive! The aquarium has a 50 foot long salt water tank located in the center of the Forum Shops, with Roman sculptures, fountains, etc. surrounding the tank. Inside there is tropical fish, stingrays and even small sharks swim in the midst of an shopping experience at a casino like Caesars. The aquarium is part of the Atlantis area for the spectacular shows, making it feel as though you are in some sort of unique, Las Vegas only experience. I ended up stumbling across The Atlantis Aquarium while on my way to Carmine's for a special event on a Wednesday evening. It's right next to the parking garage and exit, as well as some of the other dining options like the Cheesecake Factory. For visiting the Atlantis Aquarium, you do not need to schedule time for it, or purchase an entry ticket, you simply go there! I felt like they did an excellent job with the visual arrangement. The combination of the large aquarium, statues, the painting on the ceiling of the sky, and the near by animated show featuring the character from Atlantis was a lot of fun! I wouldn't call it a destination attraction on its own, but it's definitely worth stopping to look at if you're already walking through the Forum Shops. It's quick and free!
