Pleasantly surprised! - We were not sure what the experience would be like since the building looked fairly small upon entry. We were quite pleasantly surprised! The exhibits were varied and interesting. All items on display were in very good condition. It took us 2 1/2 hours to view all the displays. We enjoyed the experience thoroughly.

Nice surprise - This place was such a welcome surprise! Right in the heart of Las Vegas, this place is full of historical artifacts and information. We weren't expecting much but ended up being blown away. How is this not one of the top things to do in Vegas? We loved it!

Oligist Day - Once year they participate in Las Vegas Science Fest and they have real -ologists (archeologists, paleontologists, biologists, etc.) Great time to become a donor to help fund events such as these!

Old schools museum needs more info on First Nations - We enjoyed the dinosaur explanations very much. Kind of an old school museum. The Egypt exhibit was good but was a strange fit… it had more info on Egyptians but almost zero regarding the First Nations people who have lived in Vegas for over 10,000 years. We were disappointed there wasn’t more information on first peoples.

Great for kids. - It was a boiling hot day, so I decided to do an indoor activity, and this is a little gem. It is really aimed at children, but I spent a very happy hour looking at the exhibits. It is a small museum, but filled and well set out. Lots for kids to touch and explore.

It was okay! - My daughter had been wanting to go so we took her best friend with us. I think I was expecting more with all the info online. My daughter enjoyed, but also got bored really quick. The lady at the front desk was really nice but the others didn't even say Hello! The inter-active areas were offline and not available.
