Las Vegas is home to a new generation of family attractions, from immersive museums to live shows and interactive adventures. Here are nine standout experiences for visitors with kids of all ages.
Las Vegas has changed. Families are now a big part of the city’s entertainment scene. The Strip and nearby venues are packed with new attractions that pull parents and kids into the center of the action.
At Excalibur, Tournament of Kings still fills its arena with families hungry for medieval drama. The show splits the crowd into “countries,” serves food you eat with your hands, and puts live jousting right in front of you. It’s loud, messy, and fun. The energy in the room matters as much as the sword fights. OnStage365 confirms Tournament of Kings is still running strong, with shows booked through January 1, 2027. It’s not going anywhere.
For 2026, Tournament of Kings has 128 upcoming performances scheduled at Excalibur, highlighting its enduring presence in the city’s family entertainment scene.
Interactive adventures and immersive museums
Las Vegas has put real money into attractions that get kids moving. The Infinity Museum on South Maryland Parkway is a good example. Its Mirror Maze sends visitors through twisting paths with pool noodles in hand. The Wormhole exhibit takes families on a wild trip through time and space. These aren’t just things to look at. Kids get to touch, try, and explore.
Omega Mart at AREA15 is something else entirely. It looks like a grocery store, but it’s really a giant, interactive art adventure. Every visit is different. Some families leave with stories about secret doors or strange products. No two trips are the same.
Live shows and unconventional performances
Las Vegas still means live entertainment, but now families have more choices. Jabbawockeez at MGM Grand is a dance show with masked performers who never speak. The story comes through movement and music. Kids and adults both get hooked. Live Nation and OnStage365 list Jabbawockeez with ticketed dates through December 17, 2026. There are 567 upcoming shows. That’s a lot of dancing.
Popovich Comedy Pet Theater at Miracle Mile Shops mixes rescued animals with slapstick comedy. Every animal has a part to play. The show is silly, fast, and full of surprises. Kids laugh. Parents do too.
Both Tournament of Kings and Jabbawockeez are not one-off events but long-term fixtures in Las Vegas’s family entertainment sector, with their extensive schedules reflecting a deliberate commitment to all-ages programming through 2026.
Iconic attractions and new perspectives
Some Las Vegas spots give families a whole new view of the city. The High Roller at The Linq Promenade is one of the world’s tallest observation wheels. It takes 30 minutes to go all the way around. There are trivia games and views that stretch for miles. It’s a must for anyone who wants to see the Strip from above.
Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay brings the ocean to the desert. Sharks, sea turtles, piranhas, a Komodo dragon, and even a golden crocodile live here. The touch tank lets kids get hands-on with sea life. It’s more than just looking through glass.
History and pop culture for all ages
The Neon Museum on Las Vegas Boulevard North is all about the city’s past. Families can walk among famous signs like the Moulin Rouge and see art by Tim Burton. It’s a mix of old Vegas and new creativity. Bring a camera. The visuals are worth it.
Sonic Live at Resorts World Las Vegas is for anyone who loves video games. On October 1, a live rock band will play while classic Sonic the Hedgehog footage rolls on screen. It’s a one-night event. Old fans and new ones will both find something to cheer for.
Planning a family visit
Planning a family trip to Las Vegas is easier now. The Vegas2Go app puts top attractions, restaurants, and deals in one place. It’s a sign of how the city is changing for a new generation of travelers.
Las Vegas is not just for adults anymore. The Infinity Museum, High Roller, and other family attractions show the city is serious about welcoming kids. Families who want more than a pool or buffet have real options. The change is obvious. Just look at the crowds at Tournament of Kings or the families exploring Omega Mart.
