About
The Adventuredome at Circus Circus is Las Vegas's secret family weapon — a genuine five-acre indoor theme park hidden inside one of the Strip's most family-accessible hotels, completely climate-controlled and free from the brutal Nevada desert heat. For parents navigating a Las Vegas trip with children, this is the activity that answers the recurring question of where exactly kids fit in a city built for adults.
The pink dome shelters a proper theme park with variety across age ranges. At the upper end, the Canyon Blaster double-loop, double-corkscrew roller coaster delivers real thrills for adults and teens, while El Loco and the Sling Shot add additional intensity options. In the middle, a log flume, laser tag, mini bouldering wall, and various mid-level rides serve the 8–14 crowd.
At the younger end, dedicated kiddie areas have gentle spinning and driving rides appropriate for toddlers and preschoolers.
All-day ride passes represent the best value for families planning to spend several hours — the per-ride ticket system adds up quickly when children want repeat rides on favorites. Purchase passes online or at the entrance. The dome also features a classic carnival midway with redemption games, though parents should set firm limits on midway spending to avoid budget surprises.
The Adventuredome's location inside Circus Circus gives it direct access to the hotel's full suite of dining options, including a budget-friendly food court — a practical alternative to the pricier in-dome food stands. Plan at least three hours for a proper visit; five hours if you want to experience everything.

Why Kids Love It
The Adventuredome is Las Vegas's only full indoor theme park — a five-acre climate-controlled dome inside Circus Circus with actual roller coasters, a log flume, carnival midway games, and kiddie rides. It's the answer to the question every parent faces in Las Vegas: where can kids actually go? A proper theme park experience in the middle of the desert heat with no sun exposure.
