I have been visiting all the pumpkin patches and corn mazes available in Las Vegas and this is so far THE BEST. It is really family friendly and no scary things (at least during the day time), it has games for parents too, so no one can say I was bored there. Big lie. We went there on Saturday around noon, and there is no line or nothing at one point I thought i was at wrong place. Everything is so organized from parking guys who are telling you where exactly to park and stay with you until you park your car. We had basic ticket purchased online but you still need to stay in line to get your bracelet . After you check in on the right side is cornmaze (down the hill) and on the left side (up the hill) are games, food, petting zoo and market. There are a lot of old fashion games made from wood, basketball hoop, tractors, corn pit. Petting zoo is small and it only has goats, bulls and chicken. They also have pig race, MAKE SURE TO CHECK PIG RACE SCHEDULE!!. We missed the one at 4 PM and the next one was at 6 PM. We didn't try food since we bring our own. But their strawberry and water Mellon lemonade serve in big plastic jars are very delicious. cornmaze is totally amazing, and huge. We didn't eveb have time to go through all corn maze, they havr watermelon, corn and all kinds of pumpkin to pick. The line for tractor ride was huge so we didn't wait for it. Definitely next year we are going for two days. They also have fire pit area which was closed during the day. Also forgot to mention all the rides for kids are free. No need to purchase additional tickets. Also make sure to cone early. When we were heading home there was a huge line on entrance and even longer car line.

You are allowed to bring in your own food and drinks, this allowed us to have s'mores this allowed us fun, laughter, and tons of great food through out the night. The haunted hay ride is super fun with live actors jumping on every now and then. Be patient and kind this is a family owned farm they are offering employment to the youth in the area and they do a wonderful job. If you are not a patient person don't get in to a like for the hay ride or the corn maze, they are organized but they are only human. I would suggest this for anyone.

If you're looking for something unique to do near Las Vegas, Camel Safari is absolutely worth it…read more We drove up from the Las Vegas Strip and visited earlier in June, and it exceeded our expectations. We were amazed by how up close and personal we could get with the camels and the other animals. The safari tram tour was informative and much more engaging than anticipated as well. We had plenty of opportunities to see the animals in a natural, spacious environment. The friendly staff were also incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the animals in their care. They shared interesting facts about the area and the animals throughout the tour that made the experience both fun and educational. This was far better than your average zoo... it felt much more interactive and authentic. One of the biggest highlights is the location itself. It truly feels like a backcountry adventure, and it's hard to believe you're such a short drive from the Las Vegas Strip. We also did the UTV tour, which took us down to the Virgin River and deeper into the surrounding desert landscape. The scenery was stunning, and I couldn't believe we had just been in the middle of Vegas. What a great experience!

First, you NEED to make a reservation before going…read more I never knew we had a ranch with 30 Camels, Alpacas, a Llama, New Guinea Singing Dogs, a Two Toed Sloth, an African Crested Porcupine, a Donkey and a few other animals about an hour outside of Las Vegas. Guy the owner, an amazing bank of knowledge, he knows so much about each animal and more. He is a little rough around the edges and some may think him rude; you try to manage a 176 acre ranch with well over 60 animals who have to be fed daily, not so easy... The Camels have a diet of lettuce, carrots, sweet potatoes, apples; the sloth has a special diet which includes egg whites, the ranch dogs get the yolk as a daily treat and they know when that's coming. So in addition to taking care of all the animals, the ranch which is 176 acres, there are also tours to manage. So show him a little appreciation for what he does every day, seven days a week, etc... You can do camel rides, an ATV experience, a zoo tour on a tram, it's not easy and I feel for him so if you go out there, understand his personality has to be rough to deal with all this. Also understand, each animal has its own personality and feelings. Yesterday, Norm a camel used for rides was having a bad day. He was not in the mood for riders. I first tried to ride Norm, he was calm getting his saddle on but once I got on him, he was nope. When Allie got me off of Norm, Norm had an attitude with both Allie and Guy, Norm had to be put in a kennel which Norm was not happy about but needed a time out. So remember, dealing with 30 camels, mini horses, a Llama, Alpacas, a sloth, etc; they are dealing with a lot of different personalities and feelings in addition to people coming to visit. Safety is taken as a HIGH priority. These animals can inflict pain & even death, so I have a LOT of respect for Guy & Allie. They not only have to be concerned with adults but children as well. We arrived at 8:45 which is when the gate is opened, we met Allie and Guy along with another couple. We rode first and as I said Norm was not happy so I got off and they took my friend around the track. Upon coming back with my friend, a whole group showed up for the zoo tour so we were asked if we minded doing the zoo tour and then we will get back to the camel ride. No biggie... The zoo tour was amazing. We got on the tram and were taken to see every animal on the property stopping in each area, learning all about the animals in that area with the opportunity to ask questions, got to go in the kennel to feed the Llama and Alpacas, cool animals, petted the zebra, fed and petted the porcupine, got up close and personal with the sloth and just had an amazing experience. The knowledge gained yesterday was so cool. Once the zoo tour was over I got to ride Lodi. The camel ride was really cool, long and a really neat experience I would do again. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you go out and visit this Camel Safari. They need the support as they have a lot of mouths to feed daily and you will have an amazing experience in the Nevada desert.

I can't confirm that this one is run by volunteers, but it definitely has the small-town feel. We were greeted by a woman who was excited to give us the spiel about how the town was settled (Mormon pioneers that traveled south from Salt Lake City looking to plant cotton). She also proudly showed us the story board that she was creating herself. It changes out each quarter and tells the whole story of the town, the commerce and the culture. She also said that she's working to get it online so it can be enjoyed by people all over. The museum itself is small but stuffed with old history and artifacts of the past. It was really dark inside-I'm not sure if they didn't turn on the lights or if it's just that way, but it felt kind of eerie.

We were assigned lane 17. After two approaches, I almost fell. There was grease from something on approach. When asked they came over with a broom and tried to sweep it up. No luck. I asked if they had acetone, they said no. That wasn't enough, they are string pin setters and they don't correctly count the pins and the setters fail on a regular basis because the pins slide but they don't fall. Then the pin setter doesn't work. We took three 0 scores because all but one pin went down, but the other slid and the system can't account for that and reset the pins. We finally asked for a refund, there was no one there capable of wiping down the approach or resetting the pins. Great for kids, but if you like to bowl, find somewhere else, it is terrible, absolutely terrible, If it were possible to give it less than one star I would.

What once was a quiet little retirement town in the desert has slowly become the mini Las Vegas…read more Many Utahns who want to gamble or buy legal marijuana come here since it's closer than making the longer drive to Vegas. And depending on what you want, it's a decent substitute. There's a handful of casinos and hotels-not on par with the luxury ones in Sin City, but respectable, for the most part. If you're into golfing, you can do that just about year-round here, since it stays warm through the winter. You may want to avoid the hottest months of the year-golfing in August can be brutal. Mesquite has a small town feel to it-talk to the locals and you'll find yourself quickly amongst the gossip of who's who and who's doing what. I get the feeling that those who have lived here a long time would prefer that things stop growing-just like most small town lifers. But by the looks of things, I don't see it slowing down any time soon.

The people inside are friendly and can answer any questions you have. They have a bunch of info posted on boards outside about hiking in the area, current laws, things happening around town and some of the wildlife you might encounter. I was pissed off about their "pet area" because they have a large beautiful grassy area in front of the visitors center, but pets are not allowed on the grass and must resort to behind the building where it's nothing but rocks. I saw tons of broken glass and then there were the piles of other pets shit all over the rocks and I didn't feel it was the best or safest spot for my dog to be. I feel that because the pet area is designated behind the building that it's maybe not cared for or noticed by the people inside the visitors center much. It's sad because it's the pet owners who should be cleaning up after their pets and clearly they are lazy and not doing it, but the visitors center allows dogs in that area, so they should help keep it at least safe with no broken glass or not have it at all given there is a nearby park within walking distance people could go to that is well maintained.
