A Great Place To Take Kids In Las
Vegas
by Kyle McPeck
While I would never
recommend taking children to Las Vegas, there are plenty of places to take
your children that will entertain them while you are in Las Vegas. One of
those places is the AdventureDome at the Circus Circus Hotel on the north
part of the Strip in Las Vegas.
AdventureDome is a 5-acre indoor amusement park that is always
climate controlled to 72 degrees! Admission to the park is free.
If you want to ride one of the 23 attractions you will need to purchase
individual ride tickets which run as much as $6.00 per ride or purchase
all-day passes that start at $14.95 for juniors (under 48") and go to
$22.95 for adults or those over 48" tall).
Some rides are only available to those over 48" tall so it your child
is slightly over the height requirement do not try to cheat the system and
end up cheating your child out of a fun experience.

- Canyon Blaster
(Roller Coaster) 48" minimum

3:00 PM. and 4:00 PM and additional shows hourly from 6:00 PM-9:00 PM on

Built in 1993, AdventureDome has grown from a small 4 ride park
at Circus Circus into the all-day adventure it is today. Tickets are
