History of the Museum
Inside of the Museum
The Las Vegas Natural History Museum is a smaller venue in comparison to some of the larger, more electric attractions that fill up the Strip but that does not mean that it lacks in content. Within the Las Vegas Natural History Museum there is an ever-revolving array of different exhibits as well as some of the more enduring presentations. Among the popular permanent exhibits are the Treasures of Egypt and the Engelstad Family Prehistoric Life Gallery. Both of them offer state of the art displays that are filled with information suitable for both children and adults. The presentations within these exhibits, as well as the rest of the museum, are very hands-on, which makes them ideal for family trips with kids who need to stay active to stay entertained. Each summer a traveling exhibition is presented. This year’s roaming exhibit is Dinosaurs Take Flight, which explores the bridge and relationship between dinosaurs and birds. The exhibition discusses the Archaeopteryx which is considered to be the “missing link” between reptiles and birds. The Museum’s new Richard A Ditton Learning Lab is Nevada’s only paleo lab. Visitors can meet the leading scientists in Nevada, watch them work, and see some of their exciting new discoveries. Visitors to the Las Vegas Natural History Museum should plan to spend at least two hours looking through the different exhibits. Larger families and slow walkers should allow for an extra hour or so to make sure that everything is seen before moving on.Attractions
The Las Vegas Natural History Museum is seated within the Cultural Corridor Coalition, meaning it's adjacent to a bunch of different entertainment options. Here are a few of the more popular entertainment options in the area that stay along the family theme. Within a five-minute cab ride, travellers can take a trip to the Old Las Vegas Mormon Fort. The Fort is part of a State Park and offers a great little outdoor getaway for tourists who want to see old history of the area while getting outside. There is a self-guided tour and attractions and exhibits that rotate throughout the year. Positioned right within the Cultural Corridor, visitors can hop on over to the Neon Museum. The Neon Museum is an indoor/outdoor museum that showcases some of the old neon sights that have found themselves erected throughout Las Vegas History . There is also a self-guided tour available but there are associates on hand to give information too.Local Dining
The Las Vegas Natural History Museum is located near enough Fremont Street that tourists will have the opportunity to eat at any of the many dining options available. The neighbourhood is a cultural hub of different foods. Upper scale dining includes Vic & Anthony's Steakhouse while a more affordable, casual place to eat would be Flippin' Good Burgers and Shakes.Visiting Las Vegas Natural History Museum
