Best Outdoor Adventures in Las Vegas for Kids & Families
2 family-friendly outdoor adventures with age ratings and parent tips.
Looking for the best outdoor adventures in Las Vegas for kids? As over-the-top entertainment capital — surprisingly fun for families, Las Vegas offers active experiences in nature that families won't find anywhere else. Whether you're visiting for the first time or looking for something new, we've rated every option for age-appropriateness, stroller access, and value so you can skip the guesswork.
Outdoor adventures with kids require more planning than solo trips. We rate each for difficulty level, minimum age, and what gear you'll need. Most importantly: we tell you the actual hiking distance, not the marketing version. In Las Vegas, expect blazing hot summers (115F+), perfect winters — visit October through April with kids. Pro tip: Free shows (Bellagio fountains, Mirage volcano) are genuinely impressive. Many hotels have excellent pools for family downtime.
Below you'll find our curated list of outdoor adventures in Las Vegas, NV — each with detailed age ratings (infants through teens), cost estimates for a family of four, and the practical parent details that matter: parking, stroller access, nursing rooms, and honest reviews of what makes each spot worth your time.
